ABF Global Supply Chain Services, a subsidiary of Arkansas Best Corporation, has announced that Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay are now included in the ocean transport portfolio of ABF Global Supply Chain Services.
The company now provides single contact for full-container-load, or FCL, and expedited less-than-container-load, or LCL, supply chain solutions to and from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay. Ocean transport for these South American countries is in addition to ABF Global's previously announced coverage in Europe and Asia.
"With an established presence in Europe, China, India and Southeast Asia countries, South America is a natural extension of our global coverage," said Carlos Martinez-Tomatis, ABF GSCS division vice president. "ABF Global now covers nearly 90 percent of the total ocean international market to and from the US. Our goal is to reach 96 percent of the total import/export market, which we anticipate achieving before the end of 2013."
The provider's FCL transport solutions offer convenient and economical ocean transport with end-to-end visibility. ABF controls dedicated space on ships providing frequent service from and to all worldwide ports. As a result, the company offers single-contact, expedited LCL/LTL solutions for customers who have international manufacturing centers or suppliers.
"Long-term planning is enhanced by advanced scheduling for consolidation and departures. Features and benefits include in transit, virtual warehousing. Dynamic rerouting capabilities enable on-the-water inventory allocation and order fulfillment directly from the container to the end-user or multiple delivery locations," said Martinez-Tomatis.
