Substantial flooding has caused widespread road and bridge closures throughout the Central America Region. This is causing extended transit times when moving cargo overland within the region.
- Cargo can move through Honduras but cannot enter or exit Puerto Cortes because the road leading to and from the port is closed.
- We can move cargo from Guatemala City to Santo Tomas, Guatemala.
- Cargo to/from Honduras to El Salvador can be moved via El Amatillo border.
- Northbound loads from Nicaragua can move to San Pedro Sula, Honduras but cannot reach Puerto Cortes. They will be held at our secure container yard in San Pedro Sula until which time they can be advanced to Puerto Cortes.
This is affecting both cargo pickups and deliveries. Our land transportation team is monitoring the situation and working with authorities to identify possible routings for safe cargo movements.
