CEVA launches direct Singapore-New York LCL service

CEVA Logistics has launched a new weekly less-than-container load service from Singapore to New York. This is the first guaranteed weekly service direct to the U.S. from Singapore as part of the company’s initiative to enhance its serving trans-Pacific LCL needs.

The weekly service will take approximately 23 days from port to port, providing customers with better control of their cargo movement, the statement said. CEVA will ensure track and trace visibility of all cargo shipments from origin to destination.

The service is also complemented by consolidation services from Penang to Singapore before moving the load to New York, CEVA said.

"We are excited to roll out a weekly LCL service from Singapore to New York, in response to customer

feedback," said CEVA’s Lynnda Loo, head of ocean freight for Singapore and Malaysia. "Singapore, being strategically located in the region, is a key hub for CEVA’s LCL services, with ongoing weekly services directly to Shanghai, Pusan, Chittagong and other destinations."

"Once the container arrives in New York, we utilize a 100 percent all-motor truck network to service the 51 destinations up and down the East Coast and U.S. Midwest. We decrease our transits into the Midwest by an average of five days versus a routing over Los Angeles," said Robert Braun, LCL director for CEVA in North America.

CEVA recently started a guaranteed weekly LCL service from its newly opened Antwerp gateway in Belgium to New York as well.
