How ocean priority service works
Containers Load onto a Ship
Through partnerships with major ocean shippers, we offer priority vessel space with no rollover at the port of loading. This means you’ll get on your scheduled sailing — no waiting additional weeks to load.
The Ship Sails to the U.S.
Your shipment will sail to the Los Angeles or Long Beach port, where we’re prepared to handle it fast. Ocean transit times will remain the same as what you’re used to seeing.
Freight Gets Discharged Quickly
Because it was stowed in an ideal spot, your container will be one of the first off the vessel. We’ll take it to a priority line or container yard for local pickup — avoiding congestion at the port — or to the rail.
Containers Get Put on the Rail
Shipments headed to other destinations will have dedicated drayage to the rail ramp, where they’ll get placed on the fastest train. Daily departures ensure your freight moves quickly.
