Unifeeder is part of DP World Marine Services and the new route marks an extension of its operations in the Caribbean basin.
The new service covers containerised cargo between the North Colombian ports of Turbo, Santa Marta, Cartagena, Barranquilla and Manzanillo in Panama. It specifically caters to export companies dealing with time-sensitive products like fresh fruits.
The service allows for additional terminals to be called at the hub ports, subject to inducement – vessels will call at the port if a sufficient amount of cargo is available and booked.
Since October 2022, DP World Marine Services has introduced 19 new shipping routes, enhancing connectivity between key ports worldwide.
DP World Marine Services’ route expansions include the Vietnam Indonesia Service (VIS) in April 2023 and the India Middle East Service (IMS) in August 2023, among others.
“This significant global network expansion reinforces DP World Marine Services’ commitment to providing unparalleled shipping solutions. Our goal is to not only meet but exceed the expectations of our customers by offering reliable and efficient services across diverse trade routes,” said Jesper Kristensen, Group COO of Marine Services at DP World.
