The ship’s arrival on Sept. 9 reaffirms the terminal’s logistical advantage and the trust shipping lines place in Puerto Aguadulce’s infrastructure and services. It also reflects the terminal’s growth, technological advancement, and commitment to operational excellence and continuous innovation.
“The arrival of this vessel is a testament to our ongoing evolution and adaptation to the demands of global trade. This achievement demonstrates that we are prepared to face the challenges of the international market and continue being the preferred terminal on the Colombian Pacific,” said Aguadulce general manager Álvaro Otero.
