The pilotage in the Panama Canal (PC) is unique due to the importance it acquires; in fact, the pilot relieves the captain in his/her duties during the transit. This exceptional nature has meant that prior to the commissioning of the expanded canal; a small group of experienced pilots of the existing Canal was enabled for the transit of Neopanamax ships through a planned and innovative learning.

    Once the Canal is extended in service, routine learning begins, so that the learning curve in performing these maneuvers represents the growing skill acquired by the pilots and the organization.

    The learning effect is quantifiable. Indeed, the aim of this work is to study and model the pilot learning curve corresponding to the maneuvers of the total time in transit through the Canal, including the navigation routes and locks of Cocolí and Agua Clara. Exploratory analysis, control charts and multivariate linear models have been applied in order to identify and model learning patterns. The application of these techniques has been demonstrated that there is actually a learning effect of linear nature on PC transits.
