CEVA Logistics has announced an expansion of its global deep-sea car carrier operations, now offering connections from the Far East to Central and South America via a regular trade lane and spot services.
Three additional RoRo vessels, ranging from 5,500 to 7,000 CEUs, are allowing the global logistics expert to expand its finished vehicle logistics (FVL) solutions for the automotive market.
The new, regular trade lane service now runs between the Fast East and the west coast of Central and South America, with multiple origin and destination calls available in China, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Chile.
CEVA Logistics also now operates a global fleet of nine deep-sea and short-sea vessels in rotations across four major trade lanes.
The company has expanded with additional vessel leases. Each of the vessels commercially operated by CEVA is equipped with lift decks, allowing loads of all types of vehicles, including passenger cars, vans, trucks, heavy machinery and other oversized vehicles.
For the new Far East to Latin America trade lane, CEVA’s land-side transport assets and vehicle compounds in Central and South America ensure the company is able to unload and deliver the vehicles directly into an automaker’s distribution network or to final dealer locations.
