Análisis de viabilidad y desafíos para el establecimiento de una Industria de Deshuesadero en Panamá

Abstract

This article aimed to assess the feasibility of establishing a ship breaking industry, locally known as “deshuesadero marítimo”, in Panama. A comprehensive documentary research and SWOT analysis were conducted to examine the economic, environmental, and regulatory aspects of the sector. The results revealed that Panama has significant advantages due to its strategic location and extensive maritime expertise but faces considerable challenges in terms of environmental regulation and international competition. It was found that the development of this naval ship breaking industry could generate substantial economic benefits and position Panama as a leading regional maritime recycling hub. It was concluded that, with meticulous planning and a robust regulatory framework, Panama has the potential to develop a sustainable, innovative, and globally competitive ship breaking industry.
