True but maybe the time saved by cutting across Mexico and waiting for a receiver ship will still be less than going south through Panama.

- CPLX 3y agoThe extra time for Panama is waiting for your slot, not the time it takes to drive the boat there.
- keiferski 3y agoProbably depends on where you’re shipping from. Houston to East Asia is almost certainly faster through Mexico than down through Panama.
- Fatnino 3y agoTime only really matters for the ships. A ship sitting around, full or empty, is burning money. But if a shipping container is delayed a little waiting for a ship it's no big deal.
