UPS launches Preferred LCL ocean freight service in Europe

UPS provides expedited ocean freight service Preferred LCL on transport routes from Europe
 
The logistics enterprise UPS announced the expansion of its Preferred Less-Than-Container Load (PLCL) expedited ocean freight service to include Western Europe. Additional port access will open in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and the United Kingdom, providing shippers up to 40 per cent faster port-to-door delivery time to the U.S. than UPS’s standard LCL service. Customers will also have access to the same visibility technologies used for package shipments.
 
"The expansion of our expedited ocean freight service comes at a time when many companies are considering other modes of transportation for their freight movements," said Keith Andrey, vice president, UPS ocean freight services. "In the two years that we’ve offered the PLCL service in Asia, we have seen a great deal of customer interest in an expedited ocean freight product. Now that we are expanding this service to Europe, we can bridge the gap between air freight and classic ocean freight."
 
UPS first launched its PLCL service in spring 2011. UPS currently provides shipment services from 26 Asian ports and now four Western European ports to the U.S. Companies addressed to benefit from this expedited ocean freight service include  European customers in the industrial, automotive, retail and healthcare industries.
 
As a top 10 global freight forwarder and one of the world’s top U.S. Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs), UPS provides a wide portfolio of ocean freight services ranging from transportation to a Supplier Management service that handles international vendors and orders
