Green Tide Logistics Expands Its Maritime Network in North America

Green Tide Logistics, a company owned by Mota-Engil Mexico—a subsidiary of Grupo PRODI—has launched a new maritime route that now connects Tuxpan with Port Canaveral and Philadelphia, offering an alternative to road freight transport between the three North American countries.

The service aims to operate on a biweekly basis and is also considering the possibility of expanding its reach to Canada through connections with GT USA. It also hopes to expand the transportation options available for regional trade, particularly for trade flows that currently rely on land border crossings.

With the addition of Port Canaveral in Florida, Green Tide Logistics has expanded its existing connection with Philadelphia. According to the company, the route will enable the transport of electronics, fresh food, refrigerated cargo, and other consumer goods, both from Mexico to the United States and vice versa.

One of the most important features of the new service is intermodal connectivity. From Philadelphia and Port Canaveral, where cargo will have access to rail and road connections, it will continue on to strategic markets in Canada. Therefore, the service’s coverage will not be limited to U.S. ports alone, but will also include future connections to other destinations in North America.

The company has emphasized that this model could help reduce transit times and alter the cost structure, particularly for supply chains that typically rely on road transport; furthermore, shifting trade flows to maritime transport could help reduce congestion at border crossings between Mexico and the United States.

The launch of the new route was marked by the arrival of the M/V Whale Orca at Port Canaveral, where it carried out its first unloading operation of electronics and food.

Green Tide Logistics is celebrating one year of operations with services connecting the Gulf of Mexico to the East Coast of North America. The addition of Port Canaveral thus expands the company’s maritime corridor for import and export flows between Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
