About the Port of Almirante
Almirante in Bocas del Toro is a Caribbean-coast port known for banana exports on refrigerated ships.
Who orders beef in Almirante
Container, bulk and ro-ro ships usually provision for the next ocean passage. We quote in kg with IMPA codes so the order matches the master's requisition. Ship chandlers in Almirante can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.
How delivery works
The Panama Canal recorded 13,404 transits in fiscal year 2025 (October 2024 to September 2025), and many of those ships take on stores while they wait to transit. Ships at the Pacific and Atlantic anchorages can take frozen beef by launch before they transit. Terminals at Balboa, Rodman, Cristóbal, Manzanillo and Colón take delivery at the berth through our local partner chandlers.
For Almirante, we ship in reefer containers ahead of the vessel's call. Our partner chandler delivers to the berth, or by launch to ships at anchor, with the temperature record for the whole trip.
