About Belize Ports and Congestion
Belize’s main maritime hub, the Port of Belize in Belize City, experiences recurring congestion, especially during seasonal import surges. Limited berth availability and aging infrastructure challenge the port’s ability to handle multiple vessels simultaneously. During peak trade cycles, anchored ships must often wait for berths to clear, which can extend stay durations significantly. Container storage areas near capacity further slow turnaround, while customs clearance bottlenecks delay outbound shipments. Although there are long-term plans to modernize the terminal, immediate relief efforts include prioritizing vessel berthing for time-sensitive cargo and encouraging off-peak unloading. Tropical weather events occasionally exacerbate backlogs, especially for refrigerated cargo.
