Leading Private Infrastructure Association
CANATCOL, AP is a Private Group of builders, with extensive experience in canal infrastructure building to create the Interoceanic Canal of the Americas. We aim to develop physical and social infrastructures to support the local communities. With a mission beyond profit, our team hopes to empower communities and uplift their quality of life. We are committed to promoting sustainable development by working with construction firms and engineering companies to build the Interoceanic Canal of the Americas and create smart communities.
CANATCOL, AP believes infrastructure is the backbone that drives economic growth and development. We pride ourselves on effectively solving various challenges by leveraging our knowledge and experience. Whether social or physical infrastructure, we strive to create projects that contribute positively to the environment.
Services
Our first flagship project is the Interoceanic Canal of the Americas, which seeks to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and create massive socio-economic benefits for the region. The project aims to transform the region, spur growth, and create employment opportunities. By constructing the canal, we will open up the area to increased global trade and commerce, bringing in much-needed revenue.
The Interoceanic Canal of the Americas also plans to establish schools, hospitals, and other vital community services to support the people who live in the region. Ultimately, our services will pave the way for further developments that will enhance the quality of life of local communities.

Who Are We
CANATCOL, AP is a private group of Professionals and Builders, who are very interested in creating growth in the region and at the same time serving the world commerce by allowing Ultra Large Container Ships to cross the Americas.
Vision
The Interoceanic Canal of the America's main priority is to provide the infrastructure and build the Interoceanic Canal for Ultra Large Container Ships (ULCS), which will be 85% of the fleet in the year 2030, and to develop the adjacent communities to benefit the people living in this important corner of the Americas.
Mission
CANATCOL, AP is interested in building the infrastructure for the Interoceanic Canal for Ultra Large Container Ships (ULCS). The Canal will be a 100-mile-long (160 km) waterway connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
History
- 1520 First blueprint of Interoceanic Canal was drafted by Alvar Saavedra de Cerón.
- 1811 Alexander von Humboldt drafted several maps of the interoceanic connections.
- 1852 President of Colombia Aquileo Parra Gómez and the Embassador of France Napoleón Bonaparte Wyse signed a treaty in Bogotá to authorize the constrution of the Panama Canal.
- 1855 Frederick M. Kelley and William Kennish discovered the Atrato-Truando pathway.
- 1858 N. Michler confirmed the Kelley-Kennish findings. Reported to the US Congress in 1861 when the Civil War started.
- 1858 Engineer Ferdinand de Lesseps started the construction of the Suez Canal connecting the Mediteranean Sea with the Red Sea.
- 1881 Ferdinand de Lesseps started the construction of the Panama Canal but stopped due to engineering problems and high mortality rate of the workers.
- 1904 USA took over the project and finished in 1914.
- 1949 Governor of Panama Canal conducts study of the Atrato-Truando pathway looking for an alternative route.
- 1964 Colombian law contracts with two New York Companies to do the Interoceanic Canal Project.
- 1996 Colombian Executive Order contracts again with New York Company to study the Interoceanic Canal.
- 2016 Panama Canal opened new locks for 13.000 TEU Ships.
- 2016 Ultra Large Container Ships (ULCS >18.000 TEU) were unable to cross Panama's new locks.
- 2018 and 2023 International Interoceanic Canal Conference by Dr. Joaquin Catala Alis, Professor of Canals, Ports and Roads from the Polytechnical University of Valencia in Spain at the Technological University of Choco (UTCH).
Human Resources
CANATCOL, AP will create thousands of jobs a year with competitive salaries.
The construction of the Interoceanic Canal of the Americas will be a sea level waterway, and includes a parallel electric railroad track with hydrail technique, and two ports: one in the Atlantic, and one in the Pacific. It is estimated that each kilometer will need a total of 1,000 workers.
The following list includes the staff that will be needed:

About the Route
Our Engineers at CANATCOL, AP have designed the shortest route to build the Atlantic-Pacific Interoceanic Canal of the Americas. This route is the most direct and allows for environmental protections.
Aside from being the only one of 30 sites in America where a sea-level canal can be made, this route is also the shortest route that connects the two large oceans. This substantially reduces transit times and costs. Additionally, the path protects sensitive ecological areas, ensuring construction activities are not detrimental to the environment.
