Costa Rica is one of our most active destinations for overseas heavy machinery shipping. Central America's construction and infrastructure sectors maintain strong demand for US heavy equipment, and we have established routes and processes for shipping to Costa Rica's main ports.
Costa Rica's Main Ports
Port of Limón (Puerto Limón) on the Caribbean coast is Costa Rica's largest port and handles the majority of container shipments. Most heavy machinery imports arrive here.
Port of Caldera on the Pacific coast is the secondary port option. Depending on the vessel schedule and your destination within Costa Rica, Caldera may offer faster delivery to the Pacific side of the country.
Shipping Methods to Costa Rica
Container Shipping (Most Popular)
Container shipping with machine dismantling is the most common method for Costa Rica. We pick up from anywhere in the US, dismantle machinery at our yards, and load into containers bound for Puerto Limón or Caldera.
RoRo Shipping
RoRo service is available to Costa Rica's ports for operational machinery. The machine drives directly into the vessel at the US port and rolls off in Costa Rica.
