'By shifting operations to Galveston, our customers will benefit from shorter transit and vessel turnaround times, both critical given the tight tonnage supply in this trade route," noted John Felitto, Executive Vice President of WWL Americas. "Customers are also increasingly focused on emerging markets, and this change will enable us to connect two very important regions, the Middle East with South and Central America.'
WWL also expects customers to see reduced dwell times and faster delivery times at Galveston due to guaranteed berthing and dedicated rail access to the facility, which will be especially beneficial for project and other non-container cargoes.
