About This Seaport
Bocas Fruit Company, a Chiquita subsidiary, runs Almirante as a dedicated fresh-fruit export terminal in Panama's Bocas del Toro province on the Caribbean coast. Its roughly 312 m of quay, two berths and about 11 m of depth are geared to banana exports moved as reefer containers and refrigerated breakbulk, rather than to container liner services or open bulk traffic. The port keeps no customs-bonded storage for mixed import or third-party cargo, functioning instead as a single-purpose reefer export gateway. Hinterland links run by road toward the Costa Rican border, about 40 km away, and inland to David, some 178 km distant. Container shippers serving Panama use the Caribbean-side ports around Colón (Manzanillo, Cristóbal); for banana exports, Costa Rica's Moín is the nearest alternative — the route Chiquita switched to during the 2025 stoppage in Bocas del Toro.
