On 31 October 2022, ContainerPort Group (CPG) announced the launch of the Expedited Services team, as part of its wider logistics unit.
The Expedited Services team will focus on finding solutions for moving customer-critical containers that are not easily accessible or otherwise held at rail yards and container docks across the United States.
“Customers continue to have difficulty getting their freight delivered on-time due to a number of factors,” said CPG executive vice president Mike Williams, head of CPG Logistics and Commercial.
He added, “It could be tied up with detention and demurrage charges, overweight for a certain carrier, or perhaps a lack of available chassis. Expedited Services is all about getting creative to free those containers and finding a solution to get it where it needs to go.”
The problem faced by providers with the lack of equipment needed to move containers from storage facilities or with the lack of space available at destination facilities is acute and frequent.
Customers who need immediate assistance can leverage CPG Logistics’ extensive network of partner carriers to free up their cargo from any circumstance, regardless of location, according to the company’s statement.
