Ship and cruise beef supply in Ensenada, Mexico

About the Port of Ensenada

Ensenada is Baja California's main port and a regular stop for short Pacific cruises from Southern California. It also handles containers and a large fishing fleet.

Who orders beef in Ensenada

Cruise ships on Mexican Riviera and Pacific coast itineraries order Choice and Prime cuts for the dining rooms and crew-mess beef for the crew. 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. Fishing vessels and processors order bulk frozen crew-mess beef packed to hold at 0°F (−18°C) through long trips. Ship chandlers in Ensenada can buy from us by the case or pallet for their own vessel orders.

How delivery works

We supply Mexican ports through local partner ship chandlers, with US beef shipped frozen in reefer containers or trucked across the border. Each shipment carries the USDA export certificate Mexico requires. Our partner in port handles customs and delivery to the berth or anchorage.

For Ensenada, 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.
