Puerto Moin, Costa Rica

Puerto Moin, Costa Rica, is the site of a labor dispute in which the SINTRAJAP union has fought to protect the community from privatization of its port facilities.

Maersk Line has announced the January 2012 re-introduction of its CRX service, the weekly liner service connecting Mexico and Costa Rica directly with UK, Netherlands and Germany.

The service will provide direct port coverage for the shippers of fresh fruit from Belize, Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama into North Europe.

The fruits loaded at Puerto Moin in Costa Rica will reach Tilbury and Rotterdam in 13 and 15 days respectively.
