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.

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. Ferry Starts Between La Union and CalderaFriday, March 18, 2016 On July a ferry could be traveling by sea between the two ports on a 16 hour journey, plus time spent in ports, with a base cost of $800. The long announced ferry between Central American Pacific ports could be ready to start operations, according to a joint statement by Naviera Bajos del Odiel and the Government of Costa Rica.

Cost of Freight Transportation Becomes More ExpensiveWednesday, July 18, 2018 Guatemalan business leaders have denounced the fact that due to the crisis in Nicaragua that is now affecting the region, the cost of transporting goods by sea has increased between 30% and 40%. Representatives from the Chamber of Industry in Guatemala (CIG) and the Guatemalan Chamber of Food and Beverages (CGAB), reported that due to the Nicaraguan crisis which started in mid-April and has deepened with every week that has passed, entrepreneurs have reported increases in their transportation costs caused by the difficulty of traveling through the territory under conflict. Crisis and its Impact on the RegionMonday, October 15, 2018 The complex economic and political situation that has affected Nicaragua since April continues to affect Central America, where exporters report losses of $45 million. In the past months, cargo transport faced difficulties in moving goods along Nicaragua's highways due to demonstrators' blockades and insecurity, seriously affecting Central American companies. Maritime Transport: Too Expensive to Be SustainableThursday, June 4, 2020 Currently, transporting goods by sea between Central American countries can increase freight costs by at least 60% compared to the land option, which represents an obstacle to changing the way goods are transferred in the region. As a result of the closure of the Penas Blancas customs crossing, on the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua, some businessmen in the region had to resort to the sea route in order to deliver their orders. Regional Trade: Options for Overcoming the CrisisThursday, June 14, 2018 To be able to ship cargo throughout the region, Central American business leaders are exploring options for moving goods using alternative methods, such as shipping. Representatives from the Costa Rican government and the union of exporters met to address the issue of blockades in Nicaragua and the logistical drawbacks that they have caused, since Costa Rica transports by land about five thousand containers to the other Central American countries every month. As a result of this meeting, both parties concluded that the most viable option is to use maritime transport.
