OSLO,
Norway-- Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL) has expanded its ocean
transportation service from Veracruz, Mexico. Starting in September
2013, WWL will offer two to three sailings per month from Veracruz to
service the U.S. East Coast and connect with routes across WWL’s global
network, said the company.
Service calls
include the ports of Veracruz, Galveston, Brunswick, Charleston and
Baltimore; then proceed to Europe calling Antwerp, Bremerhaven and
Southampton. The service also offers the capability to connect to routes
across WWL’s network around the world.
“WWL is excited to
support manufacturer needs for ocean transportation from Mexico to the
U.S. East Coast and beyond,” says Rich Heintzelman, EVP and Head of
Commercial for Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics Americas. “As we see a
shift toward greater domestic manufacturing in Mexico, it will become
increasingly important to strengthen export-bound ocean services from
Mexico around the globe.”
The first vessel to launch the service will be the Freedom in September 2013.
