Seaboard Marine expands New Orleans connection to Central, South America

The ocean carrier’s vessels operating out of the Port of New Orleans will stop at more Latin American destinations.    Miami-based ocean carrier Seaboard Marine will expand its weekly service from New Orleans beyond north Central America July 24 to include Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica, the company said Friday.
   The service, heavily marketed to U.S. Gulf exporters, previously called ports in Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua. In addition to further calls, the loop will also operate with bigger vessels.
   Direct service is being offered from New Orleans to Cartegna and Turbo, Colombia; Manzanillo, Panama; and Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.
