Maersk to call Colombian banana port
Maersk said its Expreso service between the U.S. Gulf Coast and Central and South America will begin calling the port of Turbo, Colombia’s largest banana exporting port, on Friday.
“Until now, however, no container carriers have made regular calls at Turbo — leaving exporters without a containerized option and reliant either on the banana boats that do call at Turbo or other ports that require costly road haulage,” the company said.
The company said it will offer direct weekly service into Houston, and weekly connection to Europe via Manzanillo and to the U.S. West Coast.
