OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR

From the Administrator

It is a pleasure to submit the annual report of the Panama Canal

Commission, for fiscal year 1985.

At the end of this fiscal year, the sixth year of operation of the Panama

Canal Commission, the Canal remains in excellent operating condition and

its facilities and equipment continue to be improved and modernized.

Traffic passing through the waterway showed a modest improvement with an increase in oceangoing transits to 3 1 .9 ships per day from 31.1 per day in 1984. Both Panama Canal net tonnage and tolls revenue rose 4 percent

from FY 1984 levels.

Projects of major significance to Canal customers completed or underway during the year included: overhaul of Gatun Locks miter gates

and installation of lateral culvert bulkhead slots, construction of a vessel tie-up station in Gaillard Cut, upgrading of the Marine Traffic Control

vessel monitoring system, rehabilitation of the locks fire fighting system,

conversion of Canal buoys to conform to international standards, widening

of Bohio Curve in Gatun Lake, enhancement of Commission reservoir

management and weather monitoring capabilities, and the awarding of a contract for three new towing locomotives.
The performance of the Commission in accomplishing these and other

muhifaceted modernization and maintenance programs under the challenging conditions of treaty implementation demonstrates that a

skilled and capable work force has been retained to operate the Canal. To

ensure that the necessary strengths are available in the critical years ahead,

training programs continue to receive high priority, with a major emphasis on increasing the participation of qualified Panamanians commensurate

with Treaty requirements. Panamanians now compose 80 percent of the permanent Commission work force with many occupying key management

and supervisory positions throughout the organization.

As we look to the future, I am certain that the spirit of cooperation and

commitment evident in the Commission work force will enable the Panama

Canal to meet the rapidly changing demands of the maritime industry.

P. McAi

Administrator.

INTRODUCTION

ORGANIZATION

The Panama Canal Commission is an agency of the Executive Branch of

the United States Government, provided for by the Panama Canal Treaty

of 1977, and established by the Panama Canal Act of 1979 (93 Stat. 452; 22

U.S.C. 3601 et seq), enacted September 27, 1979. The authority of the President of the United States with respect to the Commission is exercised

through the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army. The

Commission is supervised by a nine-member Board. Five members are

nationals of the United States and four are Panamanians. Board members

who are U.S. nationals are appointed by the President with the advice and

consent of the Senate. The Commission was established to carry out the responsibilities of the United States with respect to the Panama Canal under the Panama Canal

Treaty of 1977. In fulfilling these obligations, the Commission manages,

operates, and maintains the Canal, its complementary works, installations,

and equipment, and provides for the orderly transit of vessels through the Canal. The Commission will perform these functions until the treaty

terminates on December 31, 1999, when the Republic of Panama will assume full responsibility for the Canal.

The Commission is expected to recover through tolls and other revenues

all costs of operating and maintaining the Canal, including interest,

depreciation, capital for plant replacement, expansion and improvements,

and payments to the Republic of Panama for public services and annuities,

in accordance with paragraph 5 of Article III and paragraphs 4(a) and (b)

of Article XIII, respectively, of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. Revenues from tolls and all other sources are deposited in the U.S. Treasury in an account known as the Panama Canal Commission Fund.

Appropriations for operating expenses and capital improvements are enacted annually by the Congress and are limited to the sum of the estimated receipts for the year, plus any unexpended balances in the Panama Canal Commission Fund.

THE CANAL

The Panama Canal is a lock-type canal approximately 51 miles long

from deep water to deep water. The minimum width of the navigable

channel is 500 feet. Navigable channel depth varies according to the
2 INTRODUCTION

amount of water available in Canal storage areas. The normal range of

permissible transit draft is from 38 feet to 39 feet 6 inches tropical fresh water. Vessels transiting the Canal are raised in three steps to the level of Gatun

Lake, the principal source of Canal water, then lowered to sea level again in three steps. The three sets of Canal locks are paired so as to permit

simultaneous lockage of two vessels in the same direction or in opposite

directions. Since August 15, 1914, the official date of its opening, the Panama Canal

has served world trade virtually without interruption. Through this fiscal year, a total of 650,799 vessels of all types have transited with 546,084 or

83.9 percent of the total being of the oceangoing commercial class. TOLLS RATES

Panama Canal tolls rates were increased approximately 9.8 percent on March 12, 1983. Tolls rates are: (a) On merchant vessels. Army and Navy

transports, tankers, hospital ships, supply ships, and yachts, when carrying passengers or cargo: $1.83 per net vessel ton of 100 cubic feet of actual earning capacity. Such tonnage is determined in accordance with the "Rules of Measurement of Vessels for the Panama Canal;" (b) on such

vessels in ballast, without passengers or cargo: $ 1 .46 per net vessel ton; and

(c) on other floating craft: $1.02 per ton of displacement.

By treaty, the United States continues to provide to Colombia free

transit through the Canal of its troops, materials of war, and ships of war.

Chapter I

CANAL TRAFFIC

TRAFFIC

Most elements of Canal traffic improved from prior year levels during

fiscal year 1985. Cargo shipments through the Canal, however, decreased

relative to the prior year. The gains in traffic without growth in cargo were

primarily due to a rise in average ship size and an increase in low density

commodities.

Oceangoing transits in fiscal year 1985 increased 2.4 percent to 1 1,654 or

3 1 .9 vessels daily from 1 1 ,384 or 3 1 . 1 daily the prior year. Vessels owned or operated by the U.S. Government and free Colombian and Panamanian

Government vessels made 139 transits during the year compared with 154

transits in fiscal year 1984.

Average ship size increased during fiscal year 1985 primarily as a result of transits by large, third generation container vessels deployed in new, round-the-world services. The increase was particularly concentrated in vessels with beams of 100 feet and over. Transits in this size category rose

9.8 percent to 2,382 or 20.4 percent of total oceangoing transits from 2, 1 70

or 19.1 percent of total oceangoing transits in fiscal year 1984. Transits by

vessels having beams of 80 feet and over accounted for 5,514 or 47.3 percent of total oceangoing transits compared with 5,496 or 48.3 percent of

total oceangoing transits in the prior year. Average size of oceangoing

commercial vessels, in terms of Panama Canal net tonnage, rose to 14,676

tons in fiscal year 1985 from 14,461 tons in 1984.

Total Panama Canal net tonnage increased 4.0 percent to 170.3 million

in fiscal year 1985 from 163.8 million tons in the prior year. Correspondingly, tolls revenue rose 4.0 percent to $300.8 million from the $289.2 million in 1984.

A two-year summary of the principal elements of Canal traffic and tolls revenue is shown in the following table:

COMMODITIES AND TRADE ROUTES

Oceangoing commercial cargo totaled 138.6 million long tons during

fiscal year 1985, with twelve key commodity groups accounting for 85.0 percent of that total. The groups, shown on page 10, have maintained

relatively stable levels of importance to Canal traffic in recent years. In

fiscal year 1984, the proportion observed for these commodity groups was

86.2 percent.

Despite a decline in petroleum and petroleum products, this commodity

group continued to rank as the principal trade in fiscal year 1985,

accounting for 19.3 percent of total oceangoing commercial cargo. The

tonnage in this group totaled 26.8 million long tons, down by 12.7 percent

from 30.7 million long tons the prior year. The petroleum and products

movement at the Canal has been affected by sluggish conditions in these markets. Crude oil totaled 12.4 million tons, dropping 12.7 percent from
PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 7

14.2 million long tons in fiscal year 1984 and petroleum products, at 14.4 million tons, registered a 12.7 percent decline from 16.5 million tons. Grain was the second commodity group in fiscal year 1985, accounting

for 17.0 percent of commercial cargo. Grain shipments totaled 23.5 million

long tons, down 16.4 percent from the already depressed 28.1 million tons

registered in fiscal year 1984. All components of the group, except oats and

sorghum, showed decreases. The largest decline was reflected in the wheat

tonnage which dropped 39.8 percent to 5.4 million long tons from the 9.0 million tons in the prior year. A number of factors accounted for the lower

tonnage in the grain trade, particularly a smaller share of U.S. exports in Far East markets. Increased competition from countries such as Argentina

and Australia, at the same time that some major importing countries have

achieved self-sufficiency in certain grains, are factors which affected U.S.

grain exports. An additional factor behind the drop in the Canal grain

trade was the shift of U.S. export grain to West Coast ports, promoted by

very low rail rates. Grain shipments from the U.S. to the Far East

constituted 83.7 percent of the total movement, with Japan, Taiwan and

China being the principal destinations.

A significant improvement was observed in the nitrates, phosphates and

potash group in fiscal year 1985. This commodity group increased 20.2 percent to 1 1.9 million long tons from 9.9 million tons in 1984, gaining the

third place in Canal major commodity groups. This trade accounted for 8.6 percent of total oceangoing commercial cargo. Shipments of coal and coke increased 15.0 percent to 11.5 million long

tons from 10.0 million tons the prior year, reversing a downward trend

which began in 1983. Most of the increase was due to higher shipments to the Far East and Europe. Coal shipments to Japan, however, dropped 14.4 percent to 4.8 million long tons in fiscal year 1985, reflecting a declining U.S. market share in Japanese imports and increases in U.S. coal exports

bypassing the Canal.

Other commodity groups experiencing gains during the year were ores and metals, which rose 1 1.5 percent to 9.7 million long tons; manufactures

of iron and steel, which increased 6.9 percent to 7.8 million long tons; miscellaneous minerals, which rose 12.8 percent to 4.4 million long tons; canned and refrigerated foods, which rose 12.1 percent to 3.7 million long

tons; and machinery and equipment, which was up by 9.1 percent to 2.4 million long tons. Canal trades registering decreases during the year were lumber and

products, which dropped 3.1 percent to 6.2 million long tons; chemicals

and petrochemicals, which dropped 3.9 percent to 5.0 million long tons; and, miscellaneous agricultural commodities, which dropped 10.7 percent

to 5.0 million long tons.
8 CANAL TRAFFIC

Trade between the East Coast of the United States and Asia remained

the leading route in Canal traffic, with nearly 38.0 percent of total commercial cargo shipped over this route. The total cargo tonnage plying

the U.S. East Coast-Asia route declined again this year, however, from 55.2 million long tons to 52.2 million tons, a drop of 5.4 percent.

The following chart and table show the principal commodity groups

moving in oceangoing commercial vessels in 1985 and a comparison of the major trade routes in fiscal years 1985 and 1984.

Chapter II

CANAL OPERATIONS

Canal operations are comprised of Transit Operations and Maintenance

and Related Canal Projects. The various functions are divided among a number of operating bureaus within the Canal agency. TRANSIT OPERATIONS

Daily average transits by oceangoing vessels increased from the 31.1 per day during fiscal year 1984 to 31.9 per day during fiscal year 1985. Average

time in Canal waters increased from 23.3 hours in fiscal year 1984 to 23.9 hours in fiscal year 1985.

PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 15 MAINTENANCE AND RELATED CANAL PROJECTS

Dredging activities continued throughout the fiscal year and May of

1985 saw the completion of the channel deepening project, thereby

providing the additional water necessary to virtually guarantee a year- round maximum draft of 39.5 feet for transiting vessels. During FY 1985, the dredges Mindi and Christensen excavated more than 1.3 million cubic

yards of earth and rock. The Bohio Curve Widening Project is proceeding on schedule. Land

drilling and blasting was completed in mid-August and dredging

operations are scheduled to begin in mid FY 1986. During FY 1985, the Panama Canal lateral navigational aids system was changed to conform to the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (lALA) Maritime

Buoyage System. Presently all lights, colors, and characteristics, as well as the color of their structures, conform to the lALA System.

Between October 1984 and March 1985, Miter Gates Nos. 21, 22, 23, and

24 from Gatun Locks were overhauled at the Mount Hope Industrial Division using the newly installed syncrolift. As part of the overhaul at Gatun Locks, 109 lateral culvert bulkhead slots were constructed in the east and west floors of the locks chamber. These bulkhead slots at Gatun,

together with those previously installed at Miratlores and Pedro Miguel

Locks, permit both lanes to remain safely in service during inspection,

maintenance, or overhaul of the center and sidewall culverts. Other

important maintenance work included continued efforts on the replacement and rehabilitation of the towing locomotive track system, the fendering system at Gatun Locks, and reactivation of the SIP-3 fire protection system at all three locks.

In February 1985, work began on a major modernization of the Dredge

MINDI to replace the old spud-maneuvering system with a new hydraulic

system mounted on a barge attached to the stern of the dredge. In addition,

the cutter motor will be changed to a 900 HP unit and the main power

system will be centralized. The overall cost of this project will be

approximately $3.6 million and will bring the capability of this 1937 dredge

up to that of any modern dredge of its size and type.

In a continuing effort to upgrade the Commission's hydroelectric

generation facilities, a new design turbine runner was installed in units No.

2 and No. 3 at Madden Dam Power Plant. The new design will reduce

recurring cavitation damage repair costs and provide higher power output

at high lake levels from the recently rewound and uprated generators. This

work completes the project, begun in fiscal year 1984, to replace the turbine runners in all three Madden Dam units. Installation of the new Supervisory

Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) for electrical power

dispatching is progressing satisfactorily and is scheduled to be in full operation by the end of fiscal year 1986. A solicitation for proposals to replace and upgrade the Commission

telephone system was issued on July 10, 1985. The new system will replace

obsolete, worn electromechanical switching equipment and provide all Commission facilities the opportunity to integrate both voice and data

telecommunication services. This multi-year contract, the first of its type to
Id CANAL OPERATIONS

be approved by GSA for the Commission, is scheduled to be awarded in fiscal year 1986. A new hydrographic station was constructed on the Piedras River above

the Madden Reservoir to provide additional river elevation and rainfall data for early warning flood control operations. Because of the remoteness

of the station, its construction required extensive helicopter support. Rio

Piedras is the newest of a 30 station hydrographic network located throughout the Canal watershed.

Construction of the Vessel Tie-Up Station has been completed and the

facility was accepted by the Commission on August 19, 1985. This station,

located on the west bank of Gaillard Cut just north of Pedro Miguel Locks,

increases lockage through-put by making it possible to moor northbound

vessels awaiting transit of Gaillard Cut.

In other transit-related work, development efforts continued on the Commission's new computerized Marine Traffic Control System. This

system, which will provide a major enhancement of vessel traffic management capabilities at the Panama Canal, is expected to come on line during the first quarter of FY 1986. Miscellaneous maintenance work during the 1985 fiscal year included

preparation of over 200 housing units to ensure minimum standards of

safety, serviceability, and sanitation prior to their transfer to Panama, in addition, repair work on two major holes in Miraflores and Pedro Miguel

locks walls was completed and a towing locomotive turntable installed on

the centerwall of Miraflores Locks.
Chapter III

SUPPORTING OPERATIONS

Supporting operations of the Panama Canal Commission provided

essential support services to the operation and maintenance of the waterway and the Agency's facilities, as well as to other U.S. agencies on

the Isthmus and to employees and their dependents. These operations

included logistical services, employee services, sanitation and grounds

management, transportation facilities, public utilities, fire protection.

Canal protection, health and safety, and library services. LOGISTICAL SERVICES

The Storehouse Division provided centralized procurement, inventory

management, warehousing, distribution, contract administration, and

supply and property disposal support to Canal operations. A total of $66.6

million in goods and services were procured during fiscal year 1985,

including $22.0 million from sources in Panama. Major contracting

obligations included approximately $9.2 million for Bunker "C" fuel and

$5. 1 million for Navy special fuel for thermoelectric power generation, $4.7

million for light diesel fuel for floating equipment, $1.0 million for premium gasoline, $1.4 million for a split-hull dump barge, and $4.0

million for three locks towing locomotives.

Appro.ximately $17.9 million in Commission inventory items were issued

for Commission use, and $19.1 million was obligated for new inventory

purchases during the year. A total inventory of 38,573 line items with an

average landed cost value of $28.0 million was on hand at year end.

Activities of the Excess Disposal Branch included no-cost transfers to other U.S. Government agencies of excess equipment having an original

acquisition value of approximately $899,814, while surplus property sold to the Government of Panama at fair market value amounted to approximately $75,000.

The Logistical Support Branch in New Orleans, LA., expedited urgent

purchases and coordinated all Commission cargo shipments from the United States to Panama. Under the coverage of the Military Sealift Command's contract, 12,100 measurement tons of containerized and

breakbulk cargo were shipped to the Port of Balboa. An additional 3.550

17
18 SUPPORTING OPERATIONS

tons of general cargo and vehicles were shipped under commercial contract with an ocean freight shipper from New Orleans to Las Minas, Republic of

Panama.

COMMUNITY SERVICES

During fiscal year 1985, the Community Services Division managed

employee housing. Commission-owned buildings, library services, and the employee fitness program for the agency. Housing expenditures were concentrated on programs for preventive

maintenance and repairs, quarters energy conservation, and enhancing the physical security of quarters used by the Commission. The agency

continued its multiyear housing management plan designed to concentrate

its diminishing housing requirements in selected core areas. Implementation of the plan is enabling the Commission to utilize housing and related maintenance resources in the most cost-effective manner, while at the same

time preserving optimum housing accommodations for its eligible

employees and meeting its ongoing responsibilities under the Panama

Canal Treaty. From March to June, 1985, the Commission transferred an

additional 500 housing units, excess to its needs, to the Republic of

Panama. At the end of the fiscal year, the agency retained the use of 1,895

housing units for its United States-citizen and other eligible employees.

This represented 44% of the inventory of approximately 4,300 units owned

by the Panama Canal Company immediately prior to entry into force of

the Panama Canal Treaty in 1979, indicating that a total of 56% of those

units have been transferred in use to Panama in six years. The buildings management activity, which is responsible for the maintenance and operation of Commission buildings and structures (not

specifically assigned to other Commission units) and for a centralized

custodial service, transferred 14 non-residential buildings no longer

required by the Commission to the Republic of Panama. The Community

Services Division was designated as the agency's coordinator for the implementation of Executive Order 12411 and Temporary Regulation

D-71 for efficient space management.

Library Services provided mission-support information and research to

all units of the Commission and maintained a collection of library and

three-dimensional materials relating to the history of the Panama Canal.

The division also administered a variety of duty-related as well as off-duty

fitness programs and facilities for Commission employees and their dependents.

SANITATION AND GROUNDS MANAGEMENT

Approximately 2,900 acres of improved grounds were maintained within

and around Commission residential areas, buildings, and the locks and

industrial facilities. Vegetation control was maintained by Grounds

Management Branch crews along utility line rights-of-way, earthen saddle

dams, Gatun Dam, Canal bank stability drainage systems, and around the perimeters of aids to navigation towers and targets. Close coordination
PANAMA CANAl. COMMISSION 19

with Panama officials in the transfer of responsibility for grounds care, resulted in a smooth transition of services in connection with the transfer of

large blocks of Commission quarters and buildings in Coco Solo. Ancon,

and other areas. Environmental health services essential to maintain public health in the Panama Canal area were furnished by the Sanitation Management Branch.

Surveillance and control of biting insects and vermin capable of transmitting disease were continued in the Canal Area with emphasis on

non-chemical control methods such as drainage maintenance in lieu of

extensive dispersements of chemical insecticides. Some 220 miles of surface water drainage ditches were maintained to eliminate mosquito breeding

around employee work and housing areas. Requirements of specialized

mosquito control measures continue to be necessary for the prevention of

such major insect-borne tropical diseases as malaria, yellow fever, and

dengue. Additional control efforts were directed against cockroaches,

house flies, bats, rats, venomous snakes and other vermin.

Africanized honeybees continue to present ongoing problems within

residential areas, at Canal work sites and on vessels transiting Canal

waters. A total of 923 swarms and nests of Africanized bees were destroyed

in a cooperative effort between Commission and U.S. military bee control

teams this fiscal year, a 25 percent increase over the previous year's total. Nests have become more numerous and several severe stinging incidents

have occurred, but no human deaths have yet occurred. Commission bee

control teams handled 20 swarms on board transiting ships during the year,

as compared to 12 incidents last year. A recent inadvertent introduction of

Africanized bees into the central valley of California by an infested shipping container emphasizes the continuous need to provide effective bee

control and maritime quarantine at the Panama Canal.

The Commission's Pacific and Atlantic sanitary landfill refuse disposal

facilities handled 76,000 tons of refuse over the past year. Of the two sites, the Atlantic landfill is unique in that for the past 45 years, it has been

utilized to receive all municipal refuse from the Colon metropolitan area and the U.S. military bases, in addition to that of the Commission's

residential areas and Panama Canal work sites. TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES

The Motor Transportation Division operated and maintained a consolidated motor pool of 866 vehicles designed to meet the vehicular

transportation requirements of the Commission. The vehicle fleet in fiscal year 1985 included 602 trucks of various types, 208 passenger-carrying

vehicles, and 56 special-purpose vehicles. Vehicle mileage decreased slightly

from 7,170,000 miles in fiscal year 1984 to 7,056.706 miles in fiscal year

1985. Fully equipped shops, including a tire retreading facility and heavy

duty repair shops, provided facilities for overhauls, maintenance and

repairs to the Motor Transportation Division fleet and equipment of other

Commission units. In addition, some services were contracted out where

they were available in required quantity and quality in Panama. The
20 SUPPORTING OPERATIONS

vehicle inspection facility located within the Motor Transportation

Division, Ancon area garage, also was used by the Government of Panama

to conduct inspections of privately-owned vehicles and by the Motor

Transportation Division to perform Commission vehicle inspections.

PUBLIC UTILITIES AND ENERGY

Panama Canal Commission facilities include electric power generation

and distribution systems, communication systems, water purification and

distribution systems, and a central chilled water air conditioning system for certain public buildings on the Pacific side. Total Canal area energy demand during fiscal year 1985 was 497

gigawatt hours, a 7.5 percent decrease from the 533 gigawatt hours used

last year. The peak hourly demand of 81 megawatts reached on May 3, 1985, was 3.6 percent below the peak of 84 megawatts in the prior year. Agency-directed energy consumption in fiscal year 1985 for electrical power and fuel, calculated together in Btu's, was reduced a total of 28.9 percent in relation to the fiscal year 1975 baseline established by the Federal Energy Management Program. Electrical power consumption by

the Commission, 71.6 gigawatt hours, was 3.7 percent below the usage

levels recorded for comparable operations in fiscal year 1975; fuel consumption, excluding fuel for power generation, 3.9 million gallons, was

49.4 percent below the corresponding 1975 fiscal year baselines. The water treatment and distribution systems operated by the Commission provide potable water for the Canal area and areas of the Republic of Panama. The Pacific side system serves the Canal area, Panama City, and suburban areas; and the separate Atlantic side system

serves the Canal area, the city of Colon, and suburban areas. During fiscal year 1985, the two systems supplied 3,182 million cubic feet of potable water to consumers, a decrease of about 0.4 percent from the previous year. Water consumed by Panama City and Colon metropolitan areas amounted

to approximately 51.1 million gallons per day.

FIRE PROTECTION

The Panama Canal Commission Fire Division, in conjunction with the Republic of Panama Fire Corps, is responsible for providing fire protection, firefighting, and rescue operations in Canal operating areas, defense sites, civilian and military areas of coordination, and shipboard

firefighting on all vessels in Canal waters. During fiscal year 1985, there were 758 fires (excluding ships), causing a

loss of $385,892 as compared to 563 fires during fiscal year 1984 which

resulted in a loss of $384,952. There were 20 ship fires during this year

versus 17 in the previous year. Ship fire losses in fiscal year 1985 were

$353,405 as compared to $243,1 12 the year before. A variety of hazardous

materials type emergency responses totaled 64. Ship hazardous cargo

stand-bys and marine/ dock emergencies totaled 811.
PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 21 CANAL PROTECTION

The Canal Protection Division is responsible for providing plant

protection and physical security for Panama Canal Commission vital installations and facilities devoted to the operation, maintenance, and

management of the Panama Canal. Physical security improvement projects

continued during the fiscal year in accordance with the program designed

to upgrade security systems and hardware and will continue over the next

several years. In addition, a new in-service employment concept for filling

guard vacancies began during the year using the upward mobility program,

which should improve the quality of guard personnel and help reduce

turnover. HEALTH AND SAFETY

The Occupational Health Division and the Safety Division are components of the Office of Personnel Administration. The Personnel

Director is the Designated Agency Safety and Health Official. During fiscal year 1985, the Commission experienced 748 performanceof-duty accidents in which the employees required medical attention

beyond first aid, as compared to 675 such accidents in fiscal year 1984. Though the incident rate rose from 7.7 in fiscal year 1984 to 9.1 per 200,000

man-hours worked in fiscal year 1985, there were no fatalities recorded in

fiscal year 1985, as compared to the ten experienced in fiscal year 1984. The

sharp decline in fatal accidents can be attributed in part to intensified safety

and health awareness, increased training and publicity, issuance and

implementation of various new criteria and policies covering safe and

healthful work practices and use of protective equipment, such as safe PCB

handling, working in confined spaces, and mandatory seat belt use. Additionally, the Commission's alcohol and drug abuse rehabilitation

program was strengthened through increased emphasis on counseling

abusers, thereby serving to further ensure a safe working environment.

ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF

PERSONNEL

FORCE EMPLOYED AND RATES OF PAY

At the end of fiscal year 1985, the total Isthmian force of the Commission was 8,435 compared to 8,090 employees in fiscal year 1984. Approximately 82 percent of the 1985 Isthmian force was comprised of

Panamanians; 2 percent of third country nationals; and the remaining 16 percent of U.S. citizens. Of the total Isthmian force, 7521 were permanent

and 914 temporary. There was a U.S. Coast Guard officer assigned to the Commission on the Isthmus. In addition, fourteen persons, all U.S.

citizens, were employed by the Commission in New Orleans and

Washington, D.C.

Rates of pay were based on a U.S. Wage Base for positions which

historically have been hard to fill, and on a Canal Area Wage Base for other occupational categories. Although originally scheduled for elimination in October 1985, the last step of a three-stage plan to phase out

the New Wage System was for various administrative reasons implemented on September 29, 1985; this eliminated the remaining difference between

the New Wage System and pre-treaty wage schedules. The following table shows the Commission civilian permanent Isthmian work force by

citizenship and wage base.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM

Between fiscal year 1984 and 1985, the number of EEO complaints

formally filed with the Agency continued to decrease. A breakdown, by

citizenship grouping, of formal complaints filed with the Agency during

fiscal years 1984 and 1985 follows:

Fiscal year Cilizenship Group I 1985 1984 ' United States 6 4 Non-United States 4

Total 6 8 This continuing decrease in the number of EEO complaints reflects the growing number of employees utilizing the grievance procedures

negotiated under the Agency's collective bargaining agreements.

Panamanians continued to increase as a percentage of total permanent

work, force as follows:

Fiscal vear 1985 Fiscal year 1979 United States Citizens ' 1,354 (18.0%)' '2,105 (26.4%)'

Panamanian Citizens 6,000 (79.6%,) 5,523 (69.2%) Third Country Nationals 181 (2.4%) 350 (4.4%)

Total 7,535 (100.0%) 7,978 ( 100.0%) Over the six-year period, since October 1, 1979 through September 30,

1985, that the Panama Canal has operated under treaty mandates for increasing the participation of Panamanians, the Agency's total permanent

work force decreased 5.6%, while the number of Panamanians rose by

8.6%. This trend of increased participation cuts across all wage categories

and pay levels in the Agency.

Between Fiscal Years 1984 and 1985, there was little variation in composition of the total permanent work force on the basis of sex:

Fiscal year 1985 Fiscal year 1984 Male ' 6,744 (89.5%)' '6.722 (89.7%)' Female 791 (10.5%) 775 (10.3%) PUBLIC AFFAIRS

During fiscal year 1985, the Office of Public Affairs expanded its activities in support of marketing efforts and customer relations in addition

to providing media coverage of Panama Commission activities locally and

internationally. Through the Commission publication. Spillway, and local press releases, employees were provided information on significant

milestones in treaty implementation which affected their work and daily

lives as well as news of Canal operations and Commission policies.

The Graphic Branch provided support to the foregoing activities, and

produced a variety of audio-visual aids, including slide briefings to assist in official orientations for visitors to the Canal; two multi-image shows, a

three projector one for the topographical model at Miraflores Locks and a
PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 25

12-projector one for use at local and international maritime expositions

and conferences. A new information film, "The Vital Element", to stress the importance of preserving the Canal's watershed, was also produced.

During the year, the Guide Service handled a total of 280,480 visitors at Miraflores and Gatun Locks and conducted 843 VIP tours. Among the

visitors were officials of the shipping industry, representatives of television networks, writers for news, travel, and shipping industry publications,

producers of motion picture documentaries, and government and business

officials from all over the world.

OMBUDSMAN

The Office of the Ombudsman, established by the Implementing

Legislation for the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, continued to respond to employee and dependent complaints, grievances, and request for information. Generally, complaints required the Ombudsman to investigate administrative problems, inefficiencies, omissions, and policy

conflicts caused within the Panama Canal Commission and other U.S. Government agencies on the Isthmus as a result of the treaty. In resolving

complaints, the widest latitude possible was applied to consideration of

problems affecting employee morale and quality of life. During fiscal year 1985, over 1,962 requests for information and/ or

assistance were recorded by the Ombudsman. As in the previous year, the majority of the Ombudsman's work concerned Commission employees and

those employees who were transferred with their functions from the Panama Canal Company/ Canal Zone Government to the Department of

Defense.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

With the exception of the pilot bargaining unit, labor-management

relations within the Commission during the past year have been marked by

routine contract administration activity. Communication between labor

and management was generally good and unions continued to enjoy access

to the Commission's top management officials. There was an increased awareness by management officials of the obligation to deal with the unions as part of the process of effecting changes in the work place. Labormanagement concerns of a pressing nature received prompt attention, and

resort to third party dispute resolution was minimal.

Renegotiation of the basic collective bargaining agreement between the Commission and its pilot employees, which began in February 1984 and

resulted in impasse prior to the end of fiscal year 1984, was not brought to a conclusion until January of 1985. The agreement that emerged and which

was imposed by the Federal Service Impasses Panel, although less generous

than the prior agreement, restored a necessary balance to the relationship

between the Commission and the pilots. The change, however, was not well accepted and many pilots have refused to embrace the new agreement. The

result has been full resort by the union to the entire panoply of dispute
26 ADMINISTRATION AND STAFF

resolution machinery in a campaign against management initiatives and

many aspects of the new collective bargaining agreement.

GENERAL COUNSEL

Legislation has been introduced in the 99th Congress to amend the provisions of the Panama Canal Act of 1979 pertaining to vessel damage

claims. This bill, H.R. 729, was passed by the House of Representatives on

July 22, 1985. By the close of fiscal year 1985, the Senate Armed Services

Committee had not held hearings on bill H.R. 729. This bill is virtually identical to bills introduced in both Houses of the 98th Congress, which

failed to reach the floor of either House before the end of that Congressional session. The new bill, H.R. 729, if enacted, would transfer from the Congress to the Commission the authority to settle and pay claims of more than

$120,000 for damage to vessels which occurs outside the locks of the Canal

and would subject the Commission to suit on non-locks accidents by

claimants who are not satisfied by the Agency's findings, determinations or awards with respect to such claims. In addition, the bill would protect the General Fund of the Treasury from liability for accidents, allow the Commission to purchase catastrophic insurance and set a time limitation on the filing of claims.

PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 39 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Comptroller General of the United States approved the Accounting

Principles and Standards Statement of the Panama Canal Commission in his letter dated September 14, 1982. A summary of significant accounting

policies follows:

a. Accounting and reporting. As required by section 1311(a) of the Panama Canal Act of 1979, hereinafter referred to as the Act, the accounts

of the Commission are maintained pursuant to the Accounting and

Auditing Act of 1950. This requires that the principles, standards and

related requirements be met, as prescribed by the Comptroller General of

the United States, after consulting with the Secretary of the Treasury and

the Director of the Office of Management and Budget concerning their accounting, financial reporting and budgetary needs. The Accounting and

Auditing Act of 1950 also requires that the accounts be maintained on an

accrual basis.

b. Cost recovery. As required by section 1341(e)(1) of the Act, the application of generally accepted accounting principles to the Panama

Canal Commission, a United States Government agency comparable to a

rate-regulated public utility, determines the manner in which costs are recognized. The basis for tolls rates is prescribed in section 1602(b) of the Act. This section of the Act, known as the "statutory tolls formula,"

provides that:

"Tolls shall be prescribed at rates calculated to produce revenues

to cover as nearly as practicable all costs of maintaining and

operating the Panama Canal, together with the facilities and

appurtenances related thereto, including unrecovered costs incurred on or after the effective date of this Act, interest,

depreciation, payments to the Republic of Panama pursuant to paragraph 5 of Article 111 and paragraph 4(a) and (b) of

Article XIll of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, and capital for plant replacement, expansion, and improvements. Tolls shall not be prescribed at rates calculated to produce revenues sufficient to cover payments to the Republic of Panama pursuant to paragraph 4(c) of Article XIII of the Panama Canal Treaty of

1977."

Under this statutory tolls formula, any unrecovered costs are to be

recovered from subsequent revenues. The amount for recovery from

subsequent revenues is transferred from Invested Capital to an account

within the Other Assets classification. Unrecovered costs are charged back

to Invested Capital to the extent subsequent annual revenues exceed

annual costs.

c. Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, or if acquired from another United States Government
40 FINANCIAL REPORT

agency, at the value determined by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Administrative and other related general

expenses are recovered currently and therefore not capitalized. The cost of

minor items of property, plant and equipment is charged to expense as incurred.

d. Advances for capital. A portion of tolls in excess of depreciation

recoveries may be programmed annually by the Board of Directors for plant replacement, expansion, or improvements. Such funds are considered

capital advances from Canal users. Upon utilization, these advances are amortized through an offset to depreciation expense in an amount

calculated to approximate the depreciation on assets acquired with such

advances.

e. Depreciation. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over

their estimated service lives at rates computed using a straight-line method

with additional annual depreciation, identified as composite, to provide for premature plant retirements.

The recurring costs of dredging the waterway are charged to expense. Non-recurring dredging costs for substantial improvements and better- ments to the waterway are considered additions to plant and are capitalized

and depreciated over their estimated service lives.

f. Accounts receivable. Uncollectible accounts receivable of the Panama

Canal Commission are recognized as a reduction in revenue when written

off. Any subsequent collections of Commission accounts receivable

previously written off are recorded as revenue.

g. Inventories. Operating materials and supplies are stated at average

cost, plus cost of transportation to the ultimate destination on the Isthmus

of Panama. An allowance has been established to reflect the estimated cost of obsolete and excess stock.

h. Retirement benefits. Employer payments to the contributory United

States Civil Service Retirement System and to the Republic of Panama

Social Security System are charged to expense. The Commission has no

liability for future payments to employees under these systems.

Non-United States citizen employees who retired from predecessor

agencies prior to October 5, 1958, are not covered by the United States

Civil Service Retirement System but do receive benefits under a separate

annuity plan. Payments made under this annuity plan are recorded as a current year expense. The liability of the Commission for future annuity

payments to these former employees or their eligible widows is reflected in the balance sheet as Retirement benefits to certain former employees of

predecessor agencies and an equal amount is recorded as a Deferred

charge.

As required by the Act, the Panama Canal Commission is liable for the increase in the unfunded liability of the United States Civil Service

Retirement Fund which is attributable to benefits payable from that fund

to, or on behalf of, employees and their survivors under the early

retirement provisions of the Act. The annual installment to liquidate the increased liability is determined by the Office of Personnel Management.
PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 41

i. Reserve for lock overhauls. A reserve is provided through an annual

charge to expense to cover the estimated cost of periodic lock overhauls.

j. Reserve for casualty losses. A reserve is provided through an annual

charge to expense to cover the estimated cost of marine accidents and other

casualty losses.

k. Reserve for floating equipment repair. A reserve is provided through an annual charge to expense to cover the estimated cost of repairs to major

floating equipment.

1. Housing use rights. No monetary value is assigned to the rights

granted to the United States Government by the Republic of Panama to use Canal Area housing transferred to the Republic of Panama under the terms of the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. The cost to manage, maintain

and provide livability improvements to these quarters is charged to expense. Rental income is included in other revenues.

2. Plant Valuation Allowances.

At July 1, 1951, certain valuation allowances for property, plant and

equipment transferred from the Panama Canal (agency) to the Panama

Canal Company and the Canal Zone Government were established, to reduce to usable value the costs of the assets transferred. At October 1, 1979, such valuation allowances as were applicable to the assets transferred from the Panama Canal Company and the Canal Zone Government to the Panama Canal Commission were carried forward and are comprised of: (a) $4.8 million at September 30, 1985, and $5.5 million at September 30,

1984, to reduce to usable value the cost of property, plant and equipment

transferred; (b) $50.9 million at September 30, 1985, and 1984, to offset

interest costs imputed for the original Canal construction period; and (c) $42.5 million at September 30, 1985, and $42.8 million at September 30,

1984, to offset the cost of defense facilities and suspended construction

projects, the latter being principally the partial construction of a third set of

locks abandoned in the early part of World War II. Property, plant and equipment offset by valuation allowances, when

fully or partially reactivated, are reinstated by a reduction in the valuation

allowance and by an increase to the non-interest-bearing investment of the United States Government in proportion to the value to the Commission of

the reactivated asset.

3. Depreciation as a Percentage of Average Cost of Plant. The provision for depreciation, expressed as a percentage of average cost of depreciable plant exclusive of valuation allowances, was 2.53% for fiscal year 1985 and 2.63% for fiscal year 1984.

4. Cash and Fund Balances.

As of September 30, 1985, the cash and fund balances of $79,738,565 are made up of $74,572,119 on deposit in the United States Treasury,

$1,509,718 on deposit in commercial banks, and $3,656,728 on hand. Of

the total, $77,963,559 is comprised of current budgetary accounts which

include appropriated funds for operations, capital and the emergency fund.
42 FINANCIAL REPORT

As of September 30, 1984, the cash and fund balances of $86,761,243 were made up of $83,845,968 on deposit in the United States Treasury,

$1,209,019 on deposit in commercial banks, and $1,706,256 on hand. Of

the total, $85,171,089 was comprised of current budgetary accounts which

included appropriated funds for operations, capital and the emergency

fund.

The emergency fund represents the amount on deposit in the United

States Treasury which is to be used ". . . to defray emergency

expenditures and to insure the continuous efficient and safe operation of

the Panama Canal when funds appropriated for the operation and

maintenance of the Canal prove insufficient for such purposes . . . ." The postal fund consists of outstanding money orders, postal savings

and interest accrued thereon. This fund will remain available until liquidated. The trust fund primarily includes deposits made by customers

for future tolls and other service payments.

5. Panama Canal Commission Fund.

The Panama Canal Commission Fund as established by the Panama

Canal Act of 1979 (Public Law No. 96-70) is made up of receipts deposited

in the United States Treasury less appropriation warrants issued during the

fiscal year. The balance in this account, $ 1 80.8 million as of September 30,

1985, and $171.2 million as of September 30, 1984, is available for future appropriations.

Section 1302 of the Panama Canal Act of 1979 (Public Law No. 96-70)

provides that all appropriations necessary to operate the Panama Canal

shall be issued from the Panama Canal Commission Fund. The

appropriations for fiscal year 1980 were issued to the Commission from the General Fund of the United States Treasury. The status of the amount still owed to the General Fund of the United States Treasury for fiscal year

1980 is as follows:

Operating Appropriation

Capital Appropriation

Repaid to General Fund (07/81) Repaid to General Fund (12/82) Amount owed General Fund of U.S. Treasury as of September 30, 1985

6. Accounting Changes.

a. In fiscal year 1984 a new method was adopted for amortizing

advances for capital disbursements based on the flow of costs from

construction work in progress. Disbursements are amortized in proportion

to depreciation costs arising from completed projects transferred fnom

construction work in progress.

b. During fiscal year 1984, a reserve was established for floating

equipment repairs similar to the reserves now in existence for lock

overhauls and marine accidents. A one-time charge to expense of $2.5

Milliom $427.2

PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION 43

million was made to establish the reserve. The annual accrual will be

reviewed and adjusted as appropriate.

c. Effective with fiscal year 1984, there was a change in the method of

applying the accounting policy for certain inventories. Inventories of

manufactured materials and supplies and water system chemicals valued at $1.3 million were written off by a charge to operations in fiscal year 1984.

d. During fiscal year 1985, the Commission virtually eliminated

transfers of costs from performers of services to requesters of these services

to simplify and streamline accounting for costs. Additionally, in fiscal year

1985, the operating expenses for storehouse, transportation, sanitation and

grounds management services and the employee fitness program were

reclassified in order to reflect more closely the Commission's functional

alignment of costs. For comparability, fiscal year 1984 expenses were recast

to reflect the same cost alignment as fiscal year 1985. In this connection,

storehouse expenses of $6,543,628 and transportation expenses of

$1,068,906 were combined and restated under supply and logistics.

Sanitation and grounds maintenance services expenses of $1,078,835 were combined with general repair, engineering and maintenance services, and

expenses for the employee fitness program of $888,25 1 were combined with

other. These expenses were originally classified in fiscal year 1984 as follows: storehouse expenses were included in general repair, engineering

and maintenance services; transportation expenses with utilities; sanitation

and ground maintenance services with other; and employee fitness program

costs with housing operations.

7. Other Receivables.

Other receivables represent services provided in connection with marine

accidents for which the vessel is considered to be responsible awaiting final settlement. This amount is also included in the computation of estimated

liabilities established for marine accident claims.

8. Unrecovered Costs Due from Subsequent Revenues.

Pursuant to the provisions of section 1341(e) and section 1602(b) of the Panama Canal Act of 1979 (Public Law No. 96-70) the net loss of $4.1

million from fiscal year 1983 operations was recovered from fiscal year

1984 operating revenue.

9. Interest-Bearing Investment of the United States Government.

The interest-bearing investment of the United States Government in the Panama Canal is determined based on section 1603(a) of the Panama

Canal Act of 1979. The interest-bearing investment of the United States Government at September 30, 1985, and September 30, 1984, was

determined as follows;

Receipts (416.1) Net property transfers (3.6) Net change (7.1) Investment at September 30, 1985 $76.

10. Marine Accident Claims.

Liabilities arising from marine accident claims are divided into fund and

non-fund categories. The fund category is made up of the following:

a. Accidents which occurred prior to October 1, 1979.

b. Accidents which occurred within the locks after September 30, 1979.

c. Accidents which occurred outside the locks after September 30, 1979,

for which the claim or estimated liability is $120,000 or less per ship per

accident.

Settlement of liabilities for marine accidents which occurred outside the locks where the claim exceeds $120,000 requires specific Congressional

approval. Until Congressional action is completed, liabilities for these accidents are booked as non-fund. Public Law 99-209, dated December 23,

1985, granted authority to the Commission to adjust and pay these claims.

At September 30, 1985, such claims which have accrued since October 1, 1979, totaled $23.1 million. The authority under Public Law 99-209 is retroactive to October 1, 1979; however, any payments will require

appropriations action by the Congress.

11. Advances for Capital— Transit Booking System Fees. During fiscal year 1982, with approval of the Board of Directors, the Commission tested a system whereby shippers, for a fee, could make an advance reservation for vessel transit. The system was activated in fiscal year 1983 and generated funds of $5.8 million in fiscal year 1985 and $4.9

million in fiscal year 1984. Such funds are considered capital advances

from Canal users. By direction of the Board of Directors, these fees are set aside for capital improvements.

12. Contingent Liabilities and Commitments.

In addition to recorded liabilities, the estimated maximum contingent

liability which could result from pending claims and lawsuits was $3.4

million at September 30, 1985, and September 30, 1984. In the opinion of

management and Commission counsel, these pending claims and lawsuits

will be resolved with no material adverse effect on the financial condition

of the agency. Commitments under uncompleted construction contracts and unfilled purchase orders amounted to $25.9 million at September 30, 1985, and
PANAMA CANAl. COMMISSION 45

$29.7 million at September 30, 1984. Of these amounts $0.2 million in unfilled purchase orders were prepaid as of September 30, 1985, and $0.1

million at September 30, 1984. In addition, the Panama Canal

Commission is liable for an indeterminable amount with respect to death

and disability payments under the Federal Employees' Compensation Act. Cash and negotiable securities of a kind acceptable by the United States Government in the amount of $7.3 million were held by United States depositories designated by the Panama Canal Commission at September 30, 1985, and $6.3 million at September 30, 1984, to guarantee

payment by third parties of their obligations.

The Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, Article XllI, paragraph 4(c), provides that an annual amount of up to $ 10 million per year be paid to the Government of Panama out of operating revenues to the extent that such

revenues exceed expenditures. Payment to the Government of Panama is subject to the limitations set forth in section 1341(e) of the Panama Canal

Act of 1979 (Public Law No. 96-70). In the event operating revenues in any

year do not produce a surplus sufficient to cover this payment, the unpaid

balance shall be paid from operating surpluses in future years up to the amount available from these surpluses. As of September 30, 1985, the balance contingently payable to the Government of Panama amounts to $53.1 million. As of September 30, 1984, the balance contingently payable

to the Government of Panama amounted to $44.2 million.

13. Treaty Impact.

On September 7, 1977, the United States of America and the Republic of

Panama signed the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. The Treaty provided for the establishment of the Panama Canal Commission on October 1, 1979,

to assume certain operational responsibilities for the Canal until December 31, 1999. When the Treaty terminates on December 31, 1999, the Republic of Panama shall assume total responsibility for the management, operation, and maintenance of the Panama Canal, which

shall be turned over in operating condition and free of liens and debts,

except as the two Parties may otherwise agree. The effects of these long- range requirements are not considered in the financial statements.
