FPS Rotterdam launches ocean freight service to Colombia

FAMOUS Pacific Shipping (FPS) Rotterdam has started offering a new direct ocean freight forwarding service from Europe to Cartagena, Colombia.

The fortnightly consolidation service between Rotterdam and Cartagena can handle full container loads (FCL) and less-than-container-loads (LCL) shipments. It has been developed in connection with FPS Rotterdam's new partner, MSL Colombia.

The new Cartagena service adds to FPS Rotterdam's existing services to Santos, Buenos Aires, Callao, Valparaiso and Colon.

"We are building on our strong and successful network from Rotterdam to South America serving five ports by adding a sixth destination," said FPS Rotterdam managing director Jean Paul van Munster.

"Cartagena is the perfect gateway for clients throughout the FPS Group network of companies wishing to send cargo to Colombia. Exporters from Colombia will be able to take advantage of FPS Rotterdam's links through the Netherlands to easily connect with customers worldwide.

"Cartagena is being developed as a major hub for South American import and export traffic. By establishing this timely partnership with MSL Colombia, FPS Rotterdam is ideally suited to be a significant forwarder operating in [the market]." Mr van Munster said.
