Hollund Industrial Marine is currently developing its first underwater logging concession in Panama. Panama has historically served as the crossroads of trade for the Americas. Its strategic location serves as a bridge between two oceans and the nexus of two continents. Panama serves not only as a maritime and air transport hub, but also an international trading, banking, and services center. Panama’s global and regional prominence is enhanced by recent trade liberalization and privatization arrangements, and Panama is participating actively in the hemispheric movement toward free trade agreements. Panama's dollar-based economy offers low inflation in comparison with neighboring countries, and zero foreign exchange risk. Its government is stable and democratic and actively seeks foreign investment in all sectors.

Due to its open economy, Panama has few market access problems. One of the more common market entry options is to appoint an agent or distributor. Another option is to find a local partner who can provide market knowledge and contacts. Other businesses have been successful via licenses or franchises.
