Stella Line charters vessels, books cargo, and arranges spot shipments from South Florida and the U.S. Gulf to the Caribbean Basin, Central America and northern South America — backed by an active network of brokers and owners.
What We Do
We connect cargo with the right vessel — fast. Whether you need a one-off spot shipment or a long-term charter, we work our broker and owner network to find competitive tonnage.
Vessel sourcing for spot voyages and time charters through our pool of brokers and owners. Bulk, break-bulk and project tonnage for the Caribbean and Latin American trades.
We place your cargo with reliable carriers and feeder services. FCL, LCL, break-bulk and heavy-lift — from South Florida and the U.S. Gulf to the islands and the mainland.
A proven process for time-sensitive, one-time shipments. Tell us the cargo and the destination — we come back with options and an indicative rate quickly.
Where We Ship
Stella Line moves containers, break-bulk and project cargo from the U.S. Gulf and South Florida to Venezuela, Colombia and across the Caribbean. These are the load ports and destination markets we work every week.
Popular lanes include Houston to Venezuela, Miami to the Dominican Republic, Fort Lauderdale to the Caribbean, and U.S. Gulf to Colombia. Shipping to Venezuela is subject to full OFAC compliance review. Request a quote for your lane →

Every week we publish indicative container and break-bulk freight rates and market conditions for the Gulf of America and Caribbean Basin — the lanes our clients actually ship. Read the latest issue, or subscribe to get it in your inbox.
The global container market is in active peak-season mode and that pressure is reaching our region. Transpacific rates rose sharply again this week — roughly 15–20% on the main Asia–US lanes. As mainline capacity is pulled toward those high-rate lanes, Gulf and Caribbean feeder space is tightening. Bunker costs are easing but remain well above February levels. Our guidance: book early.

About Stella
Stella began as a vessel operator in 2012 and has worked the Gulf and Caribbean trades ever since, incorporating in the United States in 2015. We are a hands-on operator and brokerage: we know the ports, the feeder services, and the people who move cargo in this region.
Our edge is the Caribbean corridor — an under-served, fragmented market where relationships and local knowledge matter more than scale. We work with a network of brokers and owners to find tonnage others can't, and we handle the compliance complexity that comes with trades like Venezuela.
In particular, we specialize in the Venezuelan trade to Puerto Cabello and La Guaira — the country's two principal commercial ports — with the local knowledge these lanes require. All Venezuela cargo is subject to independent OFAC compliance review and carrier pre-approval before any booking is confirmed.
