Unotrans

What Unotrans does

Unotrans is a Honduras-based, privately-held international logistics and freight forwarding company, headquartered in Tegucigalpa and founded approximately 1999-2000, with 25+ years of operating history. The company serves businesses engaged in import and export trade in and out of Honduras, particularly within the center-south region of the country, offering an integrated logistics stack that spans maritime, land, and air cargo transport, customs clearance facilitation, cargo insurance, warehousing, and digital shipment tracking through its "Portal de Embarques" online platform. Its competitive positioning is anchored at Honduras's two primary commercial ports — Puerto Cortés on the Caribbean coast and Puerto de Henecán (San Lorenzo) on the Pacific — and supported by ISO 9001 quality certification.

The business operates primarily on a transaction-fee revenue model, with quotes determined by cargo volume, weight, cubicage, transport mode, origin, destination, and service type rather than disclosed pricing tiers. Commercial channels include a direct sales motion (phone, email, and a newly added WhatsApp Business channel), a self-service portal for shipment management, and a content-marketing presence through a Spanish-language blog and monthly newsletter oriented around Incoterms, customs channels, and Honduran transport regulations. Recent product activity has been concentrated on new trade lanes, including biweekly direct LCL service from China, weekly consolidated terrestrial service from Panama, and FCL/LCL coverage to Roatán, each launched in 2024.
