由中国港湾工程公司承建的阿马多尔邮轮码头近日在巴拿马落成。巴拿马总统科尔蒂索出席并主持了仪式。
The Amador Cruise Terminal, constructed by China Harbor Engineering Company, was recently inaugurated in Panama. Panamanian President Laurentino Cortizo attended and presided over the ceremony.
科尔蒂索说，阿马多尔邮轮码头是巴拿马在太平洋地区的第一个现代化邮轮母港。其靠近巴拿马运河入口的战略位置，将使其成为中美洲和南美洲地区重要的邮轮轮转和旅客中转枢纽，增强巴拿马作为“美洲枢纽”的竞争优势。
Cortizo said the Amador Cruise Terminal is Panama's first modern cruise homeport in the Pacific region. Its strategic location near the entrance to the Panama Canal will make it an important hub for cruise ship rotations and passenger transfers in the Central and South American region, enhancing Panama's competitive advantage as the "Hub of the Americas".
新码头占地88公顷，可容纳多达5000名乘客的大型游轮。预计将为巴拿马的酒店、餐饮、旅游和交通部门带来显著的经济效益。
The new terminal covers an area of 88 hectares and can accommodate large cruise ships carrying up to 5,000 passengers. It is expected to bring significant economic benefits to Panama's hotel, dining, tourism and transportation sectors.
