Shipping Co. Anounces New Service to Costa Rica & Central America

Mediterranean Shipping Co. (USA) Inc. said it will begin a weekly direct service from Port Everglades to Puerto Santo Tomas De Castilla in Guatemala, Puerto Cortes in Honduras, and Puerto Limon in Costa Rica.

The new service will commence mid-March utilizing two MSC vessels.

"This new service will give MSC shippers even more capacity and service frequency to and from key Central American ports via Port Everglades, plus access to these ports from all USA ports service via our Freeport, Bahamas hub," said Allen Clifford, executive vice president commercial.

The new service will feature a fixed-day schedule with a Friday cutoff day in Port Everglades for Central America-bound freight. The MSC vessel will call Puerto Santo Tomas on Tuesdays, Puerto Cortes on Thursdays and Puerto Limon on Sundays.

MSC will connect with other U.S. ports through its hub in Freeport, Bahamas, and will also offer on-carriage to destinations in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.
