Damco Unveils Americas Bridge Service

LBR Staff Writer Published 23 November 2009

It provides real time supply chain information of their cargo

Damco, has launched its Americas Bridge service, further solidifying its commitment to the markets that join North and Latin America.

The new service uses Miami as a hub to either consolidate Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments from various US points for container shipping to countries in Latin America including Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru and Chile or to ship LCL from Miami with weekly options.

The company said that Americas Bridge customers benefit from Damco’s supply chain visibility product. When combined with the inventory management from the Miami consolidation hub, it allows customers to know the whereabouts of their cargo, providing real time supply chain information.

Jeremy Haycock, president of Damco North America, said: We recognize that the LCL product is crucial to providing a flexible solution for our customers to make the quick decisions needed to serve their markets while fulfilling their own cost-saving objectives. By moving cargo through our hub, customers will increase their competitiveness by being able to slow down or speed up their supply chains depending on their needs, which is crucial, especially in these economic times.
