  Update On Next  Sailing:

Voyage 98 will be loading in Houston on the 8th through 10th of July. However, it will not sail until the 18th of July, due a required 72 hour US Customs check on a vehicle which is being loaded. This type of delay occurs when any type of titled vehicle is being shipped, and does not happen on every shipment. Thank you for your patience.

 

Voyage 99 is expected to be loaded on the 12th August. As always, this is tentative and hinges on our cargo volume.

 Check here often to see the latest schedule.

  Due to the ever changing requirements of shipping, we must now charge a 1% insurance surcharge for the value of your items you are sending. This is a requirement for us, and apologize for the additional charge incurred.

                  

Schedule

Our LCL (Less Than Container Load) containers from Houston, TX sail to Belize every four weeks, or when our container gets full, whichever comes first. We try to maintain as regular a schedule as we can, but certain circumstances may alter the departure date. If you have a "hot " item and are concerned about the timetable, please contact us and we will see how we can assist you. Please keep an eye on the Update Sailing Times on the left of this site for current times.

 

FCL (Full Container Load) sail on a weekly basis. Please keep in mind that US Customs and Border Patrol have implemented many security features, and we must give an advanced notice to them before loading container on ship, usually 24 hours.

Advance notice will also allow time for Manifest filing and Bill of Lading preparation on our part. Usually, sailing is near the end of the week, and containers need to be in port by Wednesday, p.m. to make that weeks sailing. If schedule is missed, the following week will see your container off.

 

Air Freight to Belize is twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Depending on where goods originate as well as the amount of connections it needs to pass through, an average of two to three days is needed for regular service. NFO (Next Flight Out) is available for critical timetables to be met. Please contact our Belize office for details.

 

Please keep in mind, as hard as we try, these schedules and dates are subject to change at any given moment.  We try our best to maintain regular times.
