Two-term former administrator of the Panama Canal, Sr. Alberto Alem\u00e1n Zubieta, was inducted into the Global Institute of Logistics\u2019 \u2018Hall of Fame\u2019. \u00a0for his outstanding contribution to the Global Logistics Industry during his time at the Panama Canal Authority. The induction ceremony \u00a0took place at the Institute\u2019s Americas Chapter Dinner in the El Panama Hotel, Panama City.\u00a0Many of Sr. Alem\u00e1n colleagues attended the event to celebrate with him on his achievement.
\nAs\u00a0Administrator of the Panama Canal Authority Alberto Alem\u00e1n has taken canal traffic from 222 Million tonnes in 1998 to over 322 million tonnes in 2011 \u2013 a nearly 70% increase. His\u00a0pioneering work in this role, including cultivating national pride in the Panama Canal project and serves as an inspiration to current and future generations. Only very rarely is the transport geography of the global logistics industry changed however Alberto Alem\u00e1n’s overseeing of the expansion of the Panama Canal to make it fit for purpose for modern seaborne maritime trade has done just that, and will help re-establish the Atlantic Ocean as a vital part of that global transport geography.
\nSpeaking at the induction ceremony, Roberto Roy, the Minister for Canal Affairs<\/strong> and a long term colleague and friend of Sr. Alem\u00e1n said:
\n\u201cAlberto’s nomination [as Panama Canal Administrator] was a blessing for the Canal.\u00a0 There was need for strong leadership and business experience, since we had to change the economic model from a utility to a corporation which had the goal of maximizing the value of the route. Like they say, the rest is history.\u00a0<\/em>Today’s important recognition to Alberto is more than deserving, and I, now as Chairman of the Board and Canal Minister, can only be extremely happy for my friend<\/em>.\u201d
\nSpeaking about his induction to the \u2018Hall of Fame\u2019, Sr. Alem\u00e1n added:
\n\u201cIt is a great honour to be inducted into the Global Institute of Logistics\u2019 Hall of Fame, and I accept this\u00a0honor\u00a0not only for me but for the entire team of people that worked in the Panama\u00a0Canal.\u201d<\/em>
\nSpeaking at the induction Kieran Ring CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics said:
\n\u201cOnly very rarely is the transport geography of the global logistics industry changed. But this is precisely what Sr. <\/em>Alem\u00e1n\u2019s contributions have helped to achieve. His work in changing the operating culture of the Panama Canal, and turning it into a symbol of national pride for the Panamanian people, is truly an inspiration.\u00a0<\/em>There are few topics within the logistics press that have garnered more column inches than the Panama Canal \u2013 quite a testament to its global impact!<\/em>\u201d

\nThe Global Institute of Logistics Hall of Fame serves as a way to recognize distinguished members of the Global logistics community. Those elected to membership in to the Hall of Fame represent the highest achievement in their field, serving as models of what can be achieved and how.
