JACKSONVILLE, Fla - Crowley Logistics, Inc., is now offering a new, fast and dependable U.S.-Cuba Express shipping service for approved donated goods from South Florida to Cuba that features at least three sailings per month, fast 16-hour transits and delivery at destination. Individuals can ship non-commercial gift parcels that meet particular requirements, including prescribed product types, quantities and values. These gift parcels may include items such as housewares, hardware materials, childcare items, small appliances and hand tools.  ElbaAs the only U.S. ocean carrier with continuous service since 2001 to the Republic of Cuba, Crowley provides at least three regular sailings each month to the Port of Mariel featuring transit times of only 16 hours from Port Everglades, Fla. Crowley’s full-service offerings provide customers with parcel pick-up, warehousing and consolidation services, and ocean transport. Upon reaching Mariel, Crowley’s partners assist with Customs clearance and offer door delivery to destinations throughout Cuba. “Crowley has long provided dependable ocean cargo transportation service to Cuba, and the new U.S.-Cuba Express service adds another shipping solution for individuals who want to send gift parcels quickly and conveniently to Cuba,” said Jay Brickman, Crowley’s vice president of Cuba and government services. “We realize that many people may not know how to ship their gifts, but our experienced team, drawing on years of expertise, is ready, willing and able to assist.” Crowley was the first U.S. carrier to obtain a license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury in Washington, D.C., to provide regularly scheduled common carrier services for licensed cargo from the United States to the Republic of Cuba. Crowley launched its Cuba service in December 2001, becoming the first U.S. carrier to re-enter Cuba in nearly 40 years, and has maintained a regularly scheduled service ever since.
