Global logistics provider CEVA has unveiled a new weekly less-than-container-load (LCL) direct shipping service connecting Singapore to the U.S. East Coast, promising to revolutionize trans-Pacific freight operations.
Streamlined Trans-Pacific Shipping
The new service eliminates multiple port transfers, offering shippers a direct route from Singapore to New York with guaranteed weekly departures. Key advantages include:
- Faster transit: Reduced port-to-port shipping time to approximately 23 days
- Enhanced reliability: Minimized handling reduces damage and delay risks
- Improved predictability: Consistent weekly schedule enables better supply chain planning
Integrated Regional Solutions
CEVA has expanded service coverage to include consolidation options from Penang to Singapore before onward shipment to New York. The company's Singapore and Malaysia Ocean Freight lead noted the city-state's strategic position as a key LCL hub, with existing weekly services to Shanghai, Busan, and Chittagong.
Comprehensive U.S. Distribution
Upon arrival in New York, CEVA utilizes its dedicated trucking network to deliver shipments to 51 destinations across the Eastern and Midwestern U.S. Company representatives highlight a five-day average time savings compared to West Coast routing for Midwest-bound cargo.
Global Network Expansion
The Singapore-New York route follows CEVA's recent launch of weekly LCL service from Antwerp to New York, part of broader plans to add 40 global direct services. The company emphasizes its commitment to building a comprehensive worldwide LCL network through continuous route optimization and service enhancements.
Advanced tracking technology provides complete shipment visibility throughout the transportation process, from origin to final destination. This latest service development reflects CEVA's strategy to address growing trans-Pacific freight demands while improving supply chain efficiency for international shippers.
