Southern California-based ocean freight consolidator DGX will start a weekly all-water service from Los Angeles to Guayaquil, Ecuador, effective May 7.
“With an aggressive transit time of only eight days from port to port, customers will be able to enjoy all of the benefits of shipping their products via the West Coast as opposed to routing West Coast cargo via Miami – which is slower and more expensive,” said Antonio Bellido, DGX’s Latin America trade lane manager, in a statement.
“Additionally, DGX gateways allow U.S. customers to now choose to be routing their shipments destined to west coast of Latin America via DGX gateways connecting with its intermodal system from New York, Chicago, Houston, Oakland and Seattle to Los Angeles,” Bellido said.
