Vessels travel from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic and on to the Virgin Islands.
Crowley Maritime Corp. announced Tuesday that it has launched a feeder shipping service connecting San Juan, Puerto Rico; Rio Haina, Dominican Republic; and St. Croix and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
With the new service, vessels depart Rio Haina on Sundays and arrive in San Juan on Tuesdays. After departure on Thursdays, cargo arrives in St. Thomas and St. Croix on Fridays, before the vessel moves to the Dominican Republic again for Sunday operations.
Customers can ship cargo in all types of equipment, including 20- and 40-foot refrigerated and dry containers, 45-foot-by-102-inch dry containers; and flat racks. Supporting the ocean freight services are employees at the company’s San Juan, Rio Haina and Virgin Islands facilities who can streamline the handling and delivery of goods to their final destinations using a full portfolio of supply chain services, including warehousing, Customs clearance and trucking.
Earlier this month Crowley announced a new, direct northbound sailing connecting Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and Port Everglades, Fla.
