Similarly, one of the largest container shipping companies in the world, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC, for its acronym in English) granted five shipping opportunities to Panamanian seafarers, which will be managed through the Database of the DGGM that is administered by the Department of Maritime Labour Affairs, where all the documentation of the applicant requesting the shipment is received through the email laborintermediation@amp.gob.pa. Once the information is reviewed and it complies with the requirements, it is provided to the shipping companies so that they can carry out the interview and selection process that they require.
