[photopress:logistics_yrcw.jpg,full,alignright]YRC Worldwide subsidiaries Roadway and YRC Logistics Global have rolled out an expedited ocean service from China to the United States.
YRC said this adds new supply chain services at origin and destination for global shippers, as well as expand its logistics offerings to more global markets.
A spokesperson said, ‘Global supply chains are more dynamic than ever. This offering provides a unique service for those customers who seek a faster service at a more reasonable price. Our customers are sourcing globally, and we are providing solutions to that end.’
The new expedited ocean service from China to the U.S. will provide transit time improvement for standard LCL (less-than-container-load) ocean service; significant cost reduction over air; many Chinese origins with multiple sailings per week that will provide faster speed to market; guaranteed delivery or your money back if it fails to deliver by scheduled delivery date; and faster inventory turns.
The service will originate from seven ports in China — Dalian, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen — and the Port of Long Beach in the United States.
This service is expected to be at least six days faster than standard ocean transit and will offer priority unloading of containers at the Port of Long Beach.
