## Description

Numbers tell the story of Puerto Limón's freight role: the nearby Moín Container Terminal moves more than 1.3 million TEU a year and offers some 3,800 reefer plugs for banana and pineapple exports, all operated by APM Terminals. Limón International Airport (LIO), by contrast, carries no comparable cargo – despite its name it runs only Sansa domestic flights to San José. Air shipments for the Caribbean region are routed through Costa Rica's main cargo airport, Juan Santamaría (SJO). LIO therefore matters to logistics chiefly as a passenger link, with the sea doing the heavy lifting.
