Ocean Network Express opens new office in San José, strengthening its presence in Costa Rica

São Paulo, February 03, 2025 – Ocean Network Express (“ONE”), the world's sixth-largest container liner shipping company, is taking a significant step in its expansion across Latin America with the opening of a new office in San José, Costa Rica, today. This strategic move reinforces its presence in a dynamic, high-growth market.

Costa Rica stands out as an important market, with an economy driven by high-quality exports — from agricultural products like pineapples and bananas to advanced goods such as medical devices and electronics. The new office, combined with operations at Puerto Moín, a vital Caribbean port and logistics hub, will enable ONE to better serve customers and support their growth with efficient connections to regional and global markets.

ONE supports Puerto Moín through its CX2 and CX4 services, where its vessels call at APM Terminals Moín, one of Costa Rica’s largest terminals, seamlessly connecting customers to the extensive ONE Service Network via Cartagena, Colombia, and Manzanillo, Panama. Additionally, the ONE Service Marex provides direct connections via Puerto Caldera to and from Asia, further enhancing the company’s regional service coverage.

"Our strengthened presence will enhance trade connections with key global markets, including Asia, United States and Latin America, creating smoother operations and delivering even greater value to our customers," said Lucy Valencia, Country Head of ONE Costa Rica.
