UPS Expands Ocean Freight Service In 130 New Trade Lanes
June 07 2018 - 11:00AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced a major expansion to its ocean
Less-Than-Container Load (LCL) service with the addition of direct
sailings in 130 lanes. The origin and destination countries cover
most of the globe, including ports in Asia, Latin America, Africa,
Europe, U.S. the Carribean and the Middle East.
Customers who do not have enough cargo to fill an entire ocean
freight container can still access cost-effective ocean
transportation using UPS’s extensive network of capabilities and
freight facilities. Customers benefit from an economical way to
transport goods versus other modes of transportation while gaining
access to a broad portfolio of value-added and alternative
services. These services include cargo insurance and financing
solutions from UPS Capital, customs brokerage services, supplier
management, sea-air service, UPS Preferred ™ LCL, and China-Europe
Rail service.
“This network expansion demonstrates our ongoing investments to
continually build out our network so we can meet or exceed customer
demands,” said Steve McMichael, UPS Vice President, Global Ocean
Freight Services. “Shippers are looking for alternative service
options to limit risk, increase security, and manage inventory more
efficiently with reliable transit times. We provide end-to-end
support to help our customers keep promises to their
customers.”
