Progreso

Realmente, APM Terminals le está apostando a México.

Eh, como te decía, tenemos dos, dos terminales, una en el Pacífico, Lázaro Cárdenas, y otra en el Golfo, en Yucatán, Progreso.

Eh, y ambas terminales, eh, en momentos diferentes.

Lázaro Cárdenas, por ejemplo, eh, en todo nuestro tema de expansión, queremos convertir a, a Lázaro Cárdenas en el, en el gateway hub más importante del Pacífico mexicano y estamos trabajando fuertemente en eso, haciendo muchísimas inversiones en automatización, digitación, eh, descarbonización, energía renovable.

Eh, entonces, eh, acabamos de iniciar nuestra, nuestra fase dos en operación de expansión y ya anunciamos nuestra fase tres de expansión, eh, donde básicamente estamos literalmente trabajando, expandiendo la capacidad para poder soportar el crecimiento del mercado mexicano.

Y, por el otro lado, tenemos a Progreso en Yucatán, que es un-- tenemos una renovación de la concesión por diecinueve años más.

Eh, y estamos-

Felicidades.

Another ship carrying 200,000 Gallons of fuel was seized by the Coast Guard in June.

The Grace, the first ship, was brought to Progreso, Mexico, where the Mexican Navy inspection team confirmed the presence of large quantities of fuel in the ballast tanks.

That's according to the Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard.

With video obtained by ABC News shows Coast Guard agents equipped in tactical gear boarding the vessel, guns drawn while a separate Coast Guard boat goes alongside.

And we will break that all down once he returns.

So the future, starting in April of 2028, they can start having four, five, and six or eight day cruises where the four day will only be to Cozumel and the five day would be Cozumel and Progreso, similar to how the Carnival Breeze does their voyages out of Galveston.

And of course, the Jubilee will be staying in Galveston for the foreseeable future.

So this is all in line with the new Carnival Breeze Excel class, the Carnival Tropical, deploying sometime in that time frame as well.

Texas.

Yeah, starting in 2028, the Carnival ship will begin regular four- and five-night short cruises to Mexico, including Cozumel and Progreso.

Carnival has loaded 20 four-night sailings and 42 five-night cruises through April of 29.

The move is another step in the direction of putting newer megaships on shorter sailings.

So pretty much a year from now it should be sailing.

Um, the ship will offer four to seven-night cruises from Galveston, which includes Veracruz, Cozumel, Progreso, Belize, Roatan, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, Aruba, Corsican, uh, uh, Curacao, Grand Bahama, Bimini, and Key West, which Jack, just look at those itineraries.

Is any cruise line currently in Galveston offering that variety?

No. [laughs] I would say n- not, uh, to that extent because you would think that most of these, you know, the Carnival Breeze or the Carnival Freedoms that go out of Galveston, they pretty much stick to the same itinerary.

Yeah, like Cozumel, Roatan, and Costa Maya, maybe Progreso, right?

Exactly.

And so like it l- this is giving a very different kind of itinerary because, yeah, I mean, they're still gonna have your Belize, your Roatans, and your Cozumels.

It's a eight-day cruise.

All right.

Well, we've got a Western Caribbean sailing with stops at Cozumel, Georgetown and Progresso.

Let's go ahead and jump into it because I believe you booked Disney provided excursions at all of these.

Yes, we did.

Love it.

Well, then we have one more port to discuss.

Progreso, Mexico.

What did you get up to here?

Now, Tropicale will become the fifth and final ship in Carnival's Excel class, beginning service from Texas on April 15th of '28.

The ship will offer four to eight-day cruises to Celebration Key, Half Moon Cay, Mahogany Bay, Cozumel, Progreso, and Nassau.

And just like Carnival Jubilee, it'll carry the Star of Texas on its bow.

Construction is officially underway at Meyer Werft Shipyard in Germany, and reservations are now open.
