Guatemala is one of our core markets for overseas heavy machinery shipping. With active construction, infrastructure, and agricultural sectors, Guatemala consistently requires imported US heavy equipment, and we're the specialists for getting it there efficiently.
Guatemala's Main Ports
Puerto Santo Tomás de Castilla on the Caribbean coast is Guatemala's primary port for heavy cargo imports. Most container and RoRo shipments of heavy machinery arrive here.
Puerto Quetzal on the Pacific coast is the secondary option, particularly for destinations in western Guatemala or when Pacific vessel schedules are more favorable.
Shipping Methods to Guatemala
Container Shipping with Dismantling (Most Common)
Container shipping is the primary method for Guatemala. We pick up machinery from any US state, dismantle at our yards, load into containers, and ship to Santo Tomás or Puerto Quetzal. Multiple machines can be consolidated for cost savings.
RoRo Shipping
RoRo service is available to Guatemala's ports for operational machinery that can drive under its own power.
