The negotiations to find a solution to the open dispute between the consortium responsible for the redevelopment of the Panama Canal , led by Spanish construction firm Sacyr- and their managers for increased costs of the project are formally broken . But the parties maintain informal contacts with the aim of testing the possibility of resuming the dialogue and complete the work in 2015 as planned.
While sources consortium Grupo Unidos por el Canal ( GUPC ) Thursday reiterated its willingness to negotiate , the Panama Canal Authority (ACP ) said it expected in the coming hours enterprises pose a new proposal to resolve funding a cost overrun in works figure in the consortium 1,600 million ( 1,200 million) , or will communicate its decision to withdraw from the project permanently . A source reported that the ACP executives , plus Sacyr consortium - built by Italy's Impregilo , Belgium's Jan de Nul and Panama Urbana- Construction " are sending signs that they want to send a proposal ."
The rupture parties staged on Wednesday did not seem so insurmountable Thursday. The crisis cessation of work seems to have entered a pause. Panama 's ambassador in Spain , Roberto Eduardo Arango , said that " there could be a window of opportunity" for an eventual agreement . "Negotiations are interrupted , but has no end point ," he said . A source close to the negotiators confirmed to Reuters that counsel for the parties worked to reopen negotiations . Investors were more hopeful : Sacyr Thursday ETF rose 2.4% , after the collapse of 7% of the previous day.
The ACP requires GUPC resume works . During two weeks of negotiations between the Authority and the group, from 20 January to 4 February , " production levels fell to 25 % " , so on Wednesday, "almost all activities had ceased ," said the ACP in a statement Wednesday night . The administrator of the Authority, Jorge Quijano, said, "The ACP holds the door open to find a reasonable solution within the contract."
The next few hours will be crucial to determine whether the ACP returns to the negotiating table or rescinds worth 3.118 million dollars ( 2,300 million euros) which it signed in 2009 with the conglomerate, in which the Spanish Sacyr and Impregilo Italian are majority shareholders , with 48 % shares each.
At stake is the extension of one of the most important shipping lanes in the world and an essential way to Panama . The project will allow ships to pass through the canal with 12,000 containers from the current limit of 4,000 containers . The consortium has warned that if no agreement to finance the additional costs , the project and 10,000 jobs will be at risk. The ACP insists that , either way , will finish the work on schedule , 2015, either alone or with the help of other builders .
The 10,000 employees who work in the expansion are still waiting . " There is great uncertainty and we will remain vigilant ," said Norberto Valencia, spokesman of the Union of Construction Workers and Similar ( Suntracs ), the central umbrella most workers Channel . "The consortium sent them to their homes and even granted them as functions without having to play for now and told them to pay them ," he added .
