CaroTrans, Craft expand South America partnership

   Non-vessel-operating common carrier CaroTrans has expanded its partnership with Craft Multimodal for both less-than-containerloads and full-containerloads to the east coast of South America.
   The companies will now operate together in Argentina and Uruguay, in addition to their 11-year exclusive relationship in Brazil.
   The partnership will provide end-to-end local support and service from CaroTrans’ 14 offices and 25 container freight stations and Craft’s 120-member sales and service team. The Craft Group currently controls about 40 percent of Brazil’s LCL market.
   In April, CaroTrans announced a new LCL export service direct from Miami to Itajai, Brazil.
