Wait till the Nicaraguan canal is done, then Panama will be SOL.
They have raped companies long enough charging absorb-anent fees for the canal.

Just been to Panama, spent 5 days there. Needs a lot of work on tourism infrastructure before it would be acceptable as Home Port. The docking facilities are in Colón on the Caribbean side of the Canal - it's not the most attractive place in Latin America.
Agree with “Hammer Blow” - the Nicaraguan canal project will never be completed.
