Global full service freight forwarder, SBS Worldwide launched a key ocean freight consolidation service through the US West Coast gateway for its customers in the north of the UK through its Manchester office, the first of a series of planned enhancements this year.
Chairman, Steve Walker is certain that as the economic chill hardens, exporters and importers in one of the most important commercial, industrial and retail regions of the UK will welcome his company’s improved services. “During January, we introduced a Los Angeles/Liverpool consolidation service with a 17 day depot to depot transit time,” he said. “Our Chicago to Liverpool ocean freight consolidation service already offers a 14 day depot to depot transit time which is one of the fastest in the marketplace and, with the introduction of new vessels from the Far East, the transit time of our port to port service from Southern China is now just 17 days.”
