Con-way Freight and Tropical Shipping launch US-Bahamas/Caribbean service
Con-way Freight has announced the launch of TropicalDirect – a new door-to-port service from the US to ports throughout the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
The new LTL/LCL service represents a collaboration between Con-way Freight and Tropical Shipping, an ocean service provider to more than 30 ports in these markets.
US shippers with products bound for the Bahamas and the Caribbean begin the export process with a phone call to Tropical Shipping, who engages the Con-way Freight network to execute US ground delivery to Tropical’s warehouse receiving locations in New Jersey and South Florida.
Tropical Shipping then oversees ocean carriage of the shipment to its final island destination.
TropicalDirect offers single-carrier accountability, shipment tracking, documentation support, all-inclusive door-to-port pricing and single-invoice billing for most shipments.
The Con-way Freight/Tropical Shipping collaboration provides service to ports in the Bahamas, Eastern Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the US Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and the Dominican Republic.
The new service offering launches just eight months after OceanGuaranteedSM, a similar service from Con-Way Freight and APL Logistics which provides day-definite delivery and fast transit times from seven ports in Asia to anywhere in the US.
