españolColon - Cartagena Ferry Stops OperatingFriday, December 11, 2015 Despite the fact that it was announced in July that the business would be restructured to make it viable, the company which connects Cartagena port with Colon will not be providing the service in 2016. In July 2015 representatives from the company Aventuras 2000 projected modifying the schema to make it profitable, but lack of adequate port infrastructure in Isla Colon, among other factors, has prevented the idea of connecting two significant tourist cities from prospering. Still No Ferry Between Cartagena - PanamaFriday, June 8, 2012 The start of operations was announced for May 10 but the permits from the governments of Colombia and Panama are still lacking. Some internet postings point to the possibility that regional airlines are lobbying to prevent the activity of Cartagena-Colombia Ferry, which would pose serious competition. Colón - Bocas del Toro - Cartagena FerryWednesday, November 5, 2014 On October 25 Ferry Xpress began offering the service, which makes a weekly trip from the port of Colon to Cartagena in Colombia, with a stopover in Bocas del Toro. The tourist steamer with capacity to carry 1,300 passengers set sail on Friday from the Colon 2000 Port and made a 12-hour trip to the coast of Cartagena. Ferry Connection Between Panama and ColombiaWednesday, April 11, 2012 A shipping vessel owned by Panamerican Seaways with capacity for 1,500 passengers and 500 cars, will begin travelling in May between Cartagena de Indias in Colombia and Colon in Panama. Operators calculate that between 800 and 1,000 people will be carried on the "Nissos Rodos" ferry per trip, with rates starting from $99 and going up to $508. El Salvador - Costa Rica Ferry to Operate SoonTuesday, August 28, 2018 The Costa Rican company Desacarga will be the authorized company to provide, from September, a maritime cargo service between the Salvadoran port of La Unión and Caldera, in Costa Rica. Monica Segnini, CEO of Desacarga, told Elmundo.sv that "... the company is 'finalizing the final details to start operating the ferry in September', which, she explained, will offer a cargo and passenger transportation service both on the Pacific coast, and on land borders." Bureaucracy Paralyzes La Union-Caldera Cargo FerryThursday, September 1, 2016 The mania for regulatory bureaucracy which feeds its own existence is taking away flexibility in the use of resources in the economy, slowing development. EDITORIAL End of La Union – Caldera Cargo FerryFriday, October 26, 2018 Despite the recent announcement by a Costa Rican company about the future of the operation of the Cargo ferry between El Salvador and Costa Rica, as planned, the service is still not operating and may never do so. The option of maritime cargo transport emerged again with the objective of minimizing part of the impact that the Nicaraguan crisis has had on intraregional trade. That is why in July the governments of Costa Rica and El Salvador announced that they were already able to begin ferrying operations. See "Cargo Ferry Between La Union and Caldera Back on the Table" New Attempt for a Ferry Between Colon and CartagenaThursday, August 21, 2014 An announcement has been made that on October 24th a ferry will begin operating between Panama and Colombia, with a connection in the island of Bocas del Toro. Two years after the last attempt to connect the cities of Colombia and Panama via a maritime route, Panama-based Ferry Xpress will be launching the project on October 24th. Colombia – Panama Ferry Project Canceled "Sine Die"Thursday, October 4, 2012 The company Panamerican Seaway announced at the beginning of the year that that the ferry would start functioning in May making its 12-hour journey which would link the port of Colon with the terminal of Cartagena. The project aroused great expectations, but never materialized. Ferry Project from Panama to Colombia RevivedThursday, December 13, 2012 Panamanian authorities have presented a project to a Spanish shipping company to establish a maritime connection between Colon and Cartagena. The Tourism Authority of Panama has presented the project to the Spanish shipping company Acciona Trasmediterránea, who might be interested in operating the route. Bureaucracy and the Ferry Between La Union and CalderaThursday, July 28, 2016 A year after the announcement, the project to establish a marine cargo ferry between El Salvador and Costa Rica remains on paper. Although it had been announced that the service would begin in late July 2016, it seems that the idea of a ferry transporting goods between the ports of Costa Rica and El Salvador at a base cost of $800 will not happen, at least for now. La Unión - Caldera Cargo Ferry Plan AbandonedTuesday, May 30, 2017 Due to a disagreement over the rates that should be charged for the service, the Spanish shipping company Odiel has ended the negotiation process to operate the ferry. The project which was announced with great fanfare by the Solís administration almost two years ago, failed to make any progress due to the need to modify the regulation on multimodal transport service, and now the operator who was interested in providing the Service, Naviera Odiel, has decided to withdraw from the negotiations, because an agreement on tariffs could not be reached. Nicaragua Still Has Not Endorsed La Union - Puerto Corinto FerryTuesday, September 16, 2014 The Spanish shipping company interested in operating the route said it is awaiting permits from Nicaragua and that it will invest $14 million so that operations can start in October. Carlos López Barrundia, Naviera del Odiel representative in El Salvador, told Laprensagrafica.com that the initial investment comprises of "... funds for the installation of offices, hiring staff and for the boat that will provide the service." Ferry between La Union and CalderaMonday, November 10, 2014 The same shipping company which has not yet received authorization from Nicaragua to operate a ferry between La Union and Puerto Corinto, has now announced that it intends to run the service to Puerto Caldera in Costa Rica. An announcement has been made that in January 2015, a ferry will start operations connecting the port of La Union, El Salvador, with the port Caldera in Costa Rica, to be run by the shipping company Odiel. Cargo Ferry Between La Union and Caldera Back On the TableWednesday, July 11, 2018 In order to minimize some of the impact that the Nicaraguan crisis has had on intraregional trade, the governments of Costa Rica and El Salvador have announced that they are now in a position to start ferry operations. After unsuccessfully trying to implement this maritime cargo transport option, in May of last year the Spanish shipping company Odiel decided to end the negotiation process to operate the ferry, due to a disagreement over the setting of tariffs that would have to be charged for the service. Since then, the project has been forgotten. |
