About TESS

Engineers first, contractors second

TESS — Transoceanic Engineering & Ship Services — is an independent, vendor-neutral turnkey project integrator at the Panama Canal, founded in 2015.

One accountable manager for the whole job

We take responsibility for the full project chain — engineering, equipment supply, installation, class coordination and dry-dock organization — inside your transit window. Vendor-neutral: we source what fits your vessel, not what a brand tells us to sell. Our working relationship with the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) as a supplier holds us to government-grade procurement discipline.
