These new offerings will further enhance supply chain options for those shipping directly into the Eastern Caribbean from Colombia and will complement Crowley's existing full-container-load (FCL) ocean services from the U.S. and its shipping and logistics services from Puerto Rico into the Caribbean and Central America regions.
Transtainer Ltda. has been enlisted as Crowley's local Colombia representative in order to provide customers with a single point of contact for Crowley's LCL and air cargo services to and from Colombia.
'Colombia is the first step in Crowley's expansion of logistics services within South America,' said Carlos Rice, vice president, logistics. 'There is ample cargo moving between Colombia, Panama, the U.S., and Caribbean and we are glad to be entering the market with a suite of services and a reputation that shippers have long since relied on from our company.'
Customers wishing to utilize logistics services to Colombia should contact either Tony Menendez, director of sales, Latin America and Caribbean logistics services at 305-588-2565 or Ana Rocas, director of logistics services at 305-463-4875. Within Colombia, customers may also contact Diana Salazar, general manager, Transtainer Ltda., at 574-352-0011.
