The new Panama team will support the Unifeeder businesses across LATAM
Unifeeder Group has continued its expansion in Latin America (LATAM) with the opening of its first office in the region, located in Panama City. This latest investment follows the opening of new routes across LATAM, as the business seeks to unlock trade and boost economic growth in the region.
The new Panama team will support the Unifeeder businesses across LATAM in close coordination with global HQ in Aarhus, Denmark. Unifeeder will handle more than 200,000 twenty-foot containers (TEUs) and complete 800 port calls in the region in 2024 and has plans to develop its LATAM operations further in the coming years.
Unifeeder is a leading multi-regional feeder and container operator, transferring goods to and from smaller ports to hub ports for further transportation. It is a core part of DP World and serves hundreds of ports throughout Europe, Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, Africa and the Americas.
Strategic focus
Unifeeder’s latest expansion across LATAM started in 2023, as part of its strategic focus on the Americas as a significant location for regional and global trade. The routes include feeder services between Hispaniola-Puerto Rico, Colombia-Panama and to Aruba and Curacao.
“At Unifeeder, we deliver flexible and agile global supply chain solutions. Opening offices in key markets including Panama and introducing new direct feeder services means we can not only offer enhanced logistics options to our customers,” affirmed Jesper Kristensen, Group CEO, Unifeeder Group and Group COO, Marine Services, DP World.
“As DP World continues to expand in the region, the opening of our first office in Panama and the introduction of new feeder coverage represent a key step forward in our strategy to become the logistics partner of choice in the region,” asserted Morten Johansen, EVP Americas, DP World.
