About Charco Azul oil terminal
Charco Azul near Puerto Armuelles is the Pacific end of the trans-Panama oil pipeline, serving crude oil tankers.
Who orders beef in Charco Azul
Tankers and gas carriers on long voyages favor large frozen orders, and crew nationality decides how much halal beef goes on the order. Ship chandlers in Charco Azul 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 Charco Azul, 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.
