Crowley Maritime has expanded its Caribbean operations with new less-than-containerload (LCL) cargo transportation service to St Maarten via Crowley's Miami distribution centre, which will now serve as a cargo arrival and departure service point.
Crowley already provides regularly scheduled, full containerload (FCL) services from the US, as well as logistics services from Puerto Rico to St Maarten. However, the new offering will enhance supply chain options for those shipping directly into St Maarten from the US, as well for as those customers who use the island as a transshipment point.
Through on-island representation by South Atlantic Shipping (Intramar), Crowley's logistics group will now provide a single point of contact for LCL cargo transportation to and from the Caribbean island, with services that include: full and less-than-containerload, ocean and air consolidation and shipping; warehousing; domestic pick-up and delivery of cargo within the US; marine cargo insurance; freight forwarding and documentation.
In addition to the new direct LCL service from Miami, St Maarten will also serve as a global connectivity point to the smaller Caribbean basin markets of Montserrat, Anguilla, Saba, St Barts and St Eustatius, and even internationally to Asia.
