Port of Pensacola adds produce shipping service to/from Mexico
Calling two ports in the state of Veracruz gives World Direct Shipping access to Mexico City’s market and industrial areas.
World Direct Shipping, Palmetto, Fla., announced plans to begin weekly sailings between the Port of Pensacola and the Port of Coatzacoalcos in Mexico’s state of Veracruz. A second port in the northern region of Mexico’s Gulf Coast will be added to the rotation shortly. The first sailing from Coatzacoalcos is scheduled to arrive in Pensacola on Feb. 1.
“We are excited about our addition of Pensacola. With Pensacola and Port Manatee, World Direct Shipping enhances its service network between Mexico and the Southeast United States. Pensacola will be a great complement to our current Port Manatee operations. Most importantly, we will be providing shippers between the U.S. and Mexico additional flexibility in meeting their shipping needs with our proven track record of speed, reliability and personalized care to customers,” says Carlos Diaz, director of World Direct Shipping. “It’s exciting to have this opportunity to open another ocean route between Florida and Mexico.”
