Dockworkers Promoted to Yard Tractor Operators

After years of commitment, discipline, and operational excellence, ten employees of Serviestiba, S.A. have begun training as yard tractor operators — marking a significant milestone in their careers within the port industry.

These workers, each with 9 to 10 years of dockside experience, are a clear example of the talent that is developed and strengthened through daily operations. Their promotion reaffirms the company's commitment to fostering a culture of internal growth.

“I’m very grateful for this new step. We now have the opportunity to train as yard tractor operators, and every bit of knowledge we gain is welcome,” said Sergio Magaña, one of the trainees, with enthusiasm.

The yard tractor operator role is essential for handling containerized cargo at the ports of Balboa and Cristóbal. It requires experience, precision, and a strong sense of responsibility. Serviestiba, aware of these demands, reaffirms its commitment to developing internal talent.

The training includes specialized technical instruction, hands-on operational practice, strict application of safety measures, and the use of cutting-edge equipment.

“At Serviestiba, we firmly believe in rewarding perseverance and dedication. This promotion provides our employees with real opportunities for professional development,” said Abdiel Puyol, General Manager of Serviestiba.

This program is part of Serviestiba’s broader commitment to building a workplace that values merit and promotes both individual and collective growth.
