Sharing a container from panama to Colombia
Hey we are two bikers currently in panama.
Apparently it's not possible to take bikes on those sailing cruise boats. Just got a message from a company telling us that new rules apply which forbids to get bikes on a sailing boat into Colombia. Anyhow we still researching and trying to get more informations.

Meantime we also looking into regular shipping via a container.
So if anybody is in panama looking how to get bikes or a car to Colombia we might could share a container to reduce the cost.

Please contact me if you are interested.

We looking into shipping the bikes by mid or end of this month. But we are flexible.

Cheers
Ingo

Yes, I just discovered the ferry stopped in April and won't start again until November !

Now I'm looking for an option going in the opposite direction.

I understand it's possible to do the crossing with a non-commercial ship, but I'm not sure about the rules.

I'm interested to know what you learn.

Hey look into the stahlratte. It's s cruise sailing ship who takes bikes. Seems to be the only one who still does it.

Alternative Google for the company girag. They do air shipping. A friend just did it today. They should have an office in Colombia.

We are in Antigua, Guatemala in language school until at least the end of January. Then, we'll be heading toward Panama. I'm sure we're too late to coordinate a container with you but, I would really appreciate learning from you. You can PM me here.
Muchas gracias!

Just got my bike out of the container yesterday. Dealt with Tea from Seabord Marine and she got 6 bikes into container shares with 6 cars. Each container 2 cars, 2 bikes. Cost was $325 per bike plus total poert costs on both ends of $130. Flights and busses ranged from $150-200 with a car couple doing the San Blas thing.

I don't know how quick you are, but maybe we can share a container if I am still stuck in Panama. Let's stay in contact!
