| 摘要： | After a series of weekly cargo sailings since October to fine-tune operations, Work Cat Trans Gulf LLC officially launched its new container-on-barge service in the last week of December between the Port of Brownsville, Texas, and Port Tampa Bay, Fla. The new weekly shipping option connects markets in Florida and the Southeast United States with Texas' Rio Grande Valley and Mexico's industrial centers in Monterrey, Saltillo and Matamoros. "We're excited to formally launch this new weekly service between the large and rapidly growing Northern Mexico, South Texas and Southeastern U.S. markets," said Hank Hoffman, CEO at Work Cat. "Work Cat is built around the core pillars of excellence in shipping and logistics, and we're proud to work with Port Tampa Bay and the Port of Brownsville in carrying out our mission to provide customers with fast, safe and dependable transport from loading dock to customer site." According to Steven Tyndal, senior director of marketing and business development at the Port of Brownsville, the route is currently being served by two 100- by 400-foot oceangoing barges formerly used by TrailerBridge to serve the Puerto Rican market. The barges are towed while at sea, then pushed to the dock. Tyndal said Work Cat had spent several years working out the route arrangements with the ports. |
