Más de tres meses sin respuesta: AMP no entrega información sobre naves abanderadas

The Panamanian Maritime Authority is facing criticism for failing to respond to requests for information regarding ship registries and resident agents, thereby violating legally established deadlines. This inaction stands in stark contrast to its public declaration of commitment to transparency, highlighting a disconnect between institutional rhetoric and actual administrative practice concerning the right of access to information. The situation worsens following the reversal of a resolution that had sought to arbitrarily restrict access to maritime documentation for a decade—a measure criticized for its excessive opacity and subsequently annulled due to its incompatibility with openness principles. However, the continued failure to respond to current requests suggests that compliance issues persist, raising doubts about the entity’s genuine willingness to be held accountable. This case is significant for the open data community, as it illustrates the systemic challenges public institutions face in balancing data protection with the obligation to publish relevant information. It underscores the critical need for effective enforcement mechanisms and independent oversight to ensure that transparency is not merely a statement of intent but an operational reality. The administrative inertia observed here highlights the urgency of auditing and improving the responsiveness of public entities to guarantee the availability and usefulness of open data.
