ZIM is to launch a new service called Balboa Central America Express (BCA), connecting ports in the West Coast of Central America with ZIM’s global ZIM Container Service Pacific (ZCP), via the port of Balboa in Panama. The new service will operate two vessels on a weekly basis with the following rotation: Balboa (Panama), Acajutla (El Salvador), Puerto Quetzal (Guatemala), Lazaro Cardenas (Mexico), Puerto Quetzal, Acajutla, Balboa. Balboa Central America Express will offer a fast connection between Asian ports covered by ZCP and the ports in this growing region. The service allows frequent and reliable access to the ports of Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala and Acajutla in El Salvador, with one transhipment in Balboa. The connection to ZIM’s main ZCP service enables further links through ZIM’s global network, covering all major trade routes.  Cargonews Asia
