Crowley is set to integrate Houston into its established Gulf-Central America Express service, according to Container News. This strategic addition aims to broaden the reach and efficiency of the existing shipping route.
The service currently provides connections from Gulfport in the United States to several nations in the region. These include Cuba, Guatemala, and Honduras, facilitating trade and logistics operations.
With the new expansion, the revised service rotation will commence from Houston. It will then proceed to Gulfport, maintaining its existing call at this US port before continuing its journey.
Following Gulfport, the route will include Mariel, a port in Cuba, as part of its regular schedule. This ensures continued service to the Cuban market within the expanded express offering.
The updated rotation also incorporates Santo Tomás de Castilla in Guatemala, providing direct access to this Central American nation. This stop is crucial for regional trade flows.
Furthermore, the service will call at Puerto Cortés in Honduras, reinforcing Crowley's commitment to serving the Honduran market. After these stops, the vessel will return to Houston, completing the loop.
