One 225-metre berth, about 170 vessel calls and roughly 68,000 tonnes a year frame Puerto Castilla on the Caribbean coast of Honduras. Set on Trujillo Bay, the terminal works mainly as a banana and fruit gateway for Dole, shipping bananas in containers along with packaged timber and palm oil, at draughts up to 10.9 metres. Reefer handling for fresh fruit defines the operation, and nearby African oil-palm plantations are pushing palm-oil exports higher. Originally a United Fruit Company loading point, the port today combines the fruit terminal with a Honduran naval base. Road links serve the Aguán valley hinterland, with no rail freight. For general container and breakbulk traffic, Puerto Cortés – Honduras's main container port – is the alternative.
