CEVA's domestic organization launched Less than Container Load (LCL) ocean services for domestic offshore points two years ago and has since seen tremendous growth in demand from customers. With the success seen in Hawaii, the team saw an opportunity to extend the Western U.S. reach by adding solutions in Alaska. As the second largest producer of crude oil in the United States, Alaska presents a high demand for oil and gas logistics.
Bruce Hulings, Vice President, Energy Sector for CEVA in the Americas said: 'We've found with our Energy customers that conversations are starting to focus on business critical issues such as cycle times, transit times to rigs, inventory management, contract logistics and vendor management. They want the whole picture from a logistics company and we are thrilled to be able to provide that end-to-end solution they're looking for. Alaska is a key domestic region in the energy industry and by offering Alaska Advantage, our domestic energy customers will be able to focus on their core areas of expertise while optimizing the efficiency of their supply chains.'
Alaska Advantage will bring new capabilities to the domestic energy industry that didn't exist before. With its significant geographical reach, broad range of service offerings and deep energy sector experience, CEVA is able to provide an end-to-end Alaska solution. Companies have typically been forced to use several logistics vendors including chartered or scheduled air and ocean transportation to overland logistics and even air rescue when other modes of transport weren't available.
'With CEVA's vast knowledge and experience in the Energy industry, we're confident this service will provide a new approach to logistics that this part of the country hasn't ever seen,' said Bill Fallon Senior Vice President Business Development.
