Schnellste Schiffsverbindung
Through our partner, Omni Logistics, LiVe Logistics provides a weekly LCL consolidation program for our customers who import from Germany and surrounding European countries as part of our ocean freight transportation service. The goal of this “fast boat” program is to enhance our service offering to our clients and to increase their profits by controlling cost.
LiVe containers go directly from Germany to our Pittsburgh CFS facility, and through utilization of our linehaul network, we offer reduced transit time for ocean shipments delivering to the United States and Mexico.
