Feeder operator Unifeeder, owned by Dubai group DP World, is establishing its first office in South America.

According to a press release from the feeder line, the new office will be located in Panama City and comes in the wake of the opening of new routes in Latin America.

In the announcement, Unifeeder writes that by 2024, the company will carry more than 200,000 teu and make 800 port calls in the region, for which Unifeeder has several development plans in the coming years.

”Latin America is home to major emerging markets and abundant natural resources, particularly agricultural products. It is therefore an important logistics and supply chain hub for the regional and global economy,” says Morten Johansen, vice president responsible for the American continent at DP World, in the announcement.
