Launch of Florida's first ocean-to-air perishables shipment at MIA
OCEAN-to-air perishables transshipment has been launched from Miami International Airport (MIA) thanks to a collaboration between airport authorities, Crowley and its subsidiary Customized Brokers.
The first transshipment included 10 tonnes of snow peas from Guatemala to Amsterdam. The refrigerated cargo arrived in Port Everglades, Florida, aboard a Crowley cargo ship and was then trucked to MIA, from where it departed for Amsterdam via Centurion Cargo, reported American Journal of Transportation.
Crowley, Customized Brokers and MIA were instrumental in helping to commence this new perishables shipping programme with the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Crowley and Customized Brokers can now coordinate and transport ocean shipments of produce from Central America to Port Everglades and then transport them to MIA, where they will depart by air to destinations in Europe and Asia.
Last year, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved the programme's permit, and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agreed to expedite processing of the ocean shipments before their air departures. The ocean-to-air programme will save both time and money for cargo shippers, who will receive expedited air transport for perishable products without paying CBP duties.
