MATSON Logistics Supply Chain Services is expanding its less than container load (LCL) capabilities by offering direct fast transit from Shanghai to New York. 

"Matson created an alternative to costly air freight to the west coast. To compete with air freight we not only have to be fast but reliable," said Matson Logistics Supply Chain Services` sales and marketing chief Jeffrey Ivinski. 

"With Matson`s outstanding ocean transit and JAD`s land network, we can execute with a high degree of precision and add even more value for our customers," he said.

The service is based on Matson`s industry-leading China-Long Beach Express (CLX) service, which claims the fastest transit times in the transpacific trade, and partners with JAD International for expedited coast-to-coast transport.

The new service provides LCL freight receipt at origin CFS locations in Shanghai, Dalian, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Ningbo, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Tianjin and Xiamen. 

Weekly Matson sailings from Shanghai via Long Beach to New York/New Jersey in 14 days with cargo availability Thursday afternoons as well as convenient CFS facilities in Elizabeth, NJ ensures fast availability and deliveries.
