About the Port of Progreso
Progreso is Yucatán's port for Mérida, reached by a long pier from the shore. It receives cruise ships and cargo.
Who orders beef in Progreso
Cruise ships on Western Caribbean 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. Ship chandlers in Progreso 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 Progreso, 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.
