We do not recommend the use of an agent in either Colombia or Panama. Most agents will get you to do all the running around for the DIJ, Customs and BL, so add little value for a cost of $150 - $200.

We have also been made aware that these same "agents" also quote more for the shipping rates. So please please book direct.

Many people have not used agents, so just ask for instructions on our forum or FB Group Log into Facebook | Facebook

Let me know if you need any help, advice or contacts, always happy to help if i can.

Shipping with Everlogistics - Container
Specific Information in relation to shipping with Evergreen Boris

You have to notify us at least the 6 days before the departure of the vessel, for make the booking.

The Vessel departure each Sunday and arrive to Cartagena Colombia on Monday night and you have until Wednesday to take your car out of port

Please visit our blog to compare the inside measurements of the containers with the measurements of your vehicle.

Crossing Panama: Container Measures

Cost at Panama:

-1x20 STD = 1,150.00 USD

-1x40 HQ = 1,300.00 USD (this is to share costs and space with another car, which is ideal and less expensive for each one. )

All in Panama . . . freight, documentation, terminal fees from Port, bunker and we guide you.(There is no extra cost here in Panama).

At Cartagena, Colombia you have to pay:

1x20STD = 700.00 USD

1x40HQ = 730.00 USD (this is sharing cost with another vehicle.)( between custom, port and doc. Fees) we cannot receive this pay at Panama.


Total cost for the whole process at Panama and Cartagena

20 feet container: 1850.00 (this include all the costs in both sides)

40 feet container: 2030.00 (this include all the costs in both side)(this is sharing with another vehicle each one pay 1015.00)


Load the vehicle into the container ca be done on Tuesday,, Wednesday or Thursday and the day before you have to do the inspection at Panama City. So, 2 business days for shipping process. One in the city for the inspection and another 80 kms in Colon, to customs and port.

The port is CCT (Colon Container Terminal).


Processing:

the idea is to start Monday to load Tuesday or Tuesday to load Wednesday. Depends on your choice and when you arrive to Panama City


Note: some clients put in a 40HQ container 2 vehicles and 1 motorbike so the cost is less per vehicle.

Hi guys,

We are looking to share a container from Panama to Columbia as soon as possible (thats within 1 or 2 weeks Central American Standard Time). We are currently in Costa Rica, but we are on a bit of a time crunch (only have 4 months for the whole trip).

I haven't had any luck getting replis via email from shipping coompanies, but still working on it.

You can check us out at www.thejuicingnomads.com and email me if you are looking to ship across soon as well.

Thanks

Hey folks. I'm on a small (250cc) motorbike, currently in Guatemala and expecting to land in Panama late May/early June. Like many of you I'm scrambling to find a way to get myself and my bike across the Gap, luggage and all. Am also looking into air freight, but I'm open to any real solutions. If anyone is planning on shipping their vehicles to Colombia around the same time, my email is heather@cracksinthepavement.com; blog, http://thefrighteningandbeautiful.blogspot.com.

Cheers,
Heather

Hey Chris...did already find someone to share a container with? And are you heading north or south? I'm currently in Colombia and want to get my VW van also shipped mid/end of October to either Panama or Mexico. Let me know if you're still interested!

In general, I tried to get in contact with SC Line to get RORO from Cartagena to Mexico but they didn't reply yet. Does anyone have a good contact?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Joanne - we're in Panama City and ready to head to Colombia asap! Looks like there won't be a RORO from SC Line until 11/10. Let's share a container! I'll figure out how to contact you directly. Otherwise please contact me at bdoochin@gmail.com.

We're currently on our way and will probably be in Panama ready to ship in the next week or so. Do you still need a share?
