Strategic Chokepoints: The Panama Canal and Global Pharma Flow

The Panama Canal is a vital artery for global trade, linking production sites and markets across continents. Climate-related constraints, political influence, or security disruptions could severely affect transit capacity and scheduling reliability.

For pharmaceutical logistics, delays at chokepoints translate into inventory pressure, increased working capital, and heightened risk to product integrity. The industry must ask difficult questions: How dependent are we on single transit routes? What is our true exposure?

Worst-case scenarios include prolonged closures, capacity rationing, or geopolitical leverage over transit rights. Preparing for such scenarios requires diversified routing, alternative ports, and close coordination with logistics partners.

The cost of preparedness is far lower than the cost of disruption.
