Vessel sharing agreement for Crowley and Seaboard

By sharing vessel space, the pair will increase the total capacity in the trade by using two 2,500 teu-capacity vessels, resulting in a more efficient operation and reduced carbon emissions in the trade lane.

When the service commences in late November, each ship will call weekly at the companies’ respective terminals at Port Everglades and Port Miami before transiting to Puerto Limon, Costa Rica, and Colon and Manzanillo in Panama. Concurrent with the change, Seaboard will be moving all of its vessels that serve Panama to Manzanillo International Terminals.

A vessel will load in Miami and Port Everglades weekly for a Friday departure and then call in Puerto Limon on Tuesdays, Manzanillo on Wednesdays, and Colon on Thursdays before departing north on Saturdays from Puerto Limon.  Each carrier will continue to provide its full complement of equipment types used in its Central America service.
