The process was included to improve the communication between the clients and the ACP, exploiting the opportunities offered by digital technology for receiving, managing, checking and storing all information regarding the above-mentioned process. It simplifies the process by providing a more efficient, transparent and secure system for sending the Transit Date Advancement requests, relieving the clients and ACP from managing the entire notification process manually. Therefore, effective Monday, July 22, 2024, all transactions related to the Transit Date Advancement service (request, approval, void and cancellations) will be available in the Panama Canal Transit Booking System application for transit dates beginning July 24, 2024. From July 22 to July 28, 2024, the Transit Date Advancement requests may also be submitted by email and effective July 29, 2024, all Transit Date Advancement transactions shall be made through the Transit Booking System application. Please note that all the rules and conditions published in Advisory A-13-2024 and Notice to Shipping N-07-2024 will remain in effect. By submitting a Transit Date Advancement request, either by email or through the Transit Booking System application, the vessel is committed to the applicable fee once the service is provided. Additionally, please be reminded that only booked full container vessels or other booked vessels contacted by ACP are allowed to submit a Transit Date Advancement request, in which case the application will only accept the request if the vessel ETA registered in ACP Systems is prior to the transit date submitted. A user ́s guide and additional instructions will be provided by the Operational Customer Service Team.
