Container service links archipelago to South America
A MAJOR event occurred in March 2005 when the Falklands’ first commercial box shipping service started, linking the islands with Montevideo in Uruguay and Punta Arenas in Chile. This is the only service linking the Falklands with the outside world, with the exception of regular services provided by Foreland Shipping, on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, between the UK and the Falklands.
