Panamax RSA
In March 2025, CTM announced a significant revamp and the reintroduction of its Panamax RSA, with the aim of replicating the successful model of the Supramax RSA, which has been running successfully for 12 years.
This strategic update comes as the average outperformance of CTM’s Panamax fleet vis a vis the BPI was 5% in the period 2022-2024. In the previous decade, CTM managed the largest Panamax pool in the market, but after a certain point, avoided the sector due to the fleet profile. The revamp reflects CTM’s commitment to enhancing its offerings in the Panamax segment.
All vessels associated with the Panamax RSA operate in the spot market and are managed directly by CTM. This allows us to leverage our expertise in operational and commercial management at minimal cost. We maintain a flexible structure, which simplifies the process for owners to enter or exit the RSA, providing them with operational flexibility for their vessel(s).
