Troy adds LCL services to South America

· Monday, October 15, 2012

   Non-vessel-operating common carrier Troy Container Line will add new LCL services to and from South America this month.
   Weekly service will begin out of New York on Oct. 18, and includes Argentine destinations Buenos Aires, Rosario and Córdoba, as well as Montevideo, Uruguay and Santos, Brazil.
   Troy will work with Argentina-based MSL to launch and develop the service. MSL has more than 20 offices in South America and 17 years in the industry.
   “In addition to our strong lateral reach, we now are focusing our efforts on expanding throughout the Americas to offer our customers the best, most direct and reliable services from one global provider,” said Patricia L. Fitzgerald, Troy’s chief operating officer of exports, in a statement.
