Crowley adds weekly express LCL service from Houston to Puerto Rico
To better serve customers shipping to Puerto Rico from the U.S. Gulf, Crowley Maritime Corp. will launch a new weekly express less-than-container load (LCL) service from Houston.
This service will begin in early February, and will get shippers‘ cargo to Puerto Rico in only 11 days.
Additionally, any cargo needing to be shipped into the Caribbean from Puerto Rico can be relayed to surrounding islands – including Antigua, St. Kitts/Nevis, Anguilla, St. Eustatius, St. Bart’s, Montserrat and Saba –via Crowley vessels.
Once cargo arrives in Puerto Rico, Crowley’s logistics professionals can provide door deliveries from its warehouse using the company’s dedicated island trucking services. Crowley also provides additional logistics services, including customs brokerage, warehousing and distribution, cross docking, pick-and-pack, air-freight consolidations, on-island residential deliveries, cargo insurance services and more.
"To make this unique weekly service possible, Crowley’s logistics team has teamed up with Crowley subsidiary Jarvis International Freight," said Crowley’s Ken Black, director of logistics and engineering. "Together we are pleased to offer the fastest services between Houston and Puerto Rico, under the Crowley name, which customers have come to know and trust for reliability and service excellence."
Jarvis is a Houston-based international freight management and logistics company.
Crowley’s new Houston-to-Puerto Rico schedule is as follows: Each Wednesday, LCL shipments will leave Houston for arrival in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 11 days later. Crowley’s first express consolidation loads will depart on Wednesday, Feb. 8.
