Pecem to Callao: the shortest coir route
The Port of Pecem sits on Brazil's northeast Atlantic coast, in Ceara, the same state as Carve's plant. Container services cross the Atlantic, transit the Panama Canal and reach Callao on Peru's Pacific coast, with transit time set by the carrier booking. The route stays entirely in the Western Hemisphere: no Suez Canal, no Red Sea, no Cape of Good Hope detour.
| Parameter | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Transit time | Per carrier booking | Pecém–Callao via the Panama Canal |
| Route | Atlantic coast, Panama Canal, Pacific to Callao | Standard liner routing |
