MegaSpeed Cargo ships full containers, vehicles, machinery and air cargo from Dubai to Guatemala. Sea freight leaves Jebel Ali for Puerto Quetzal, usually with a transhipment on the way, and air cargo flies to Guatemala City (GUA). Our network partner office in Guatemala clears and delivers it, and we confirm the current transit time with each quote.
Puerto Quetzal on the Pacific is the usual gateway for cargo from Asia and the Gulf. Santo Tomás de Castilla serves the Caribbean side.
