To further tap into the potential of the Latin American market and strengthen the region’s shipping network, Pacific Shipping has announced the launch of two new feeder services: Central America West Coast Feeder 1 (CA1) and Central America West Coast Feeder 2 (CA2).

The introduction of these two new feeder lines is of great significance. They will work in close coordination and complement Pacific Shipping’s existing West Coast South America (WCSA) mainline service. This integration will successfully open market access to countries such as Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and El Salvador, providing customers with a more comprehensive and efficient port connectivity system across Central America. This initiative underscores Pacific Shipping’s firm commitment to supporting the vigorous growth of trade in the Latin American region. To date, Pacific Shipping has made notable progress in operating mainline services between Asia and Latin America, currently managing five mainline routes.

William Ho, General Manager of Long-Haul Trade and Route Operations at Pacific Shipping, shared his perspective on the new feeder services: “The launch of the Central America West Coast feeder services is a key step in Pacific Shipping’s ongoing support of the region’s growing trade demands. We remain committed to a ‘customer-first’ approach, continuously expanding our network and deploying additional vessels to help customers capture growth opportunities and provide tailored transport solutions aligned with future market development.”

Regarding the specific sailing schedules, the CA2 feeder service is planned to commence its maiden voyage on August 31, 2025, departing from Lázaro Cárdenas Port in Mexico. The CA1 feeder service is scheduled to begin its inaugural sailing on September 9, 2025, from Buenaventura Port in Colombia. Leveraging its modern fleet and efficient, professional operational management, Pacific Shipping will ensure seamless connectivity and smooth operations across its service network.

The detailed port calls for the two feeder services are as follows:

• CA1 feeder service: Buenaventura – Corinto – Caldera – Buenaventura
• CA2 feeder service: Lázaro Cárdenas – Acajutla – Lázaro Cárdenas
