John Deere Corn Header to Venezuela
On June 12, 2026 we loaded a John Deere corn header, its header cart, and a set of boxed spare parts into a 40ft container, strapping the row units down for the ocean leg. The container moved through the Port of New York and sailed to Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, where our client took delivery. Total transit time came to about one month.
