Metropolitan to handle Chiquita in Port of Hueneme
Metropolitan Stevedore Co. has begun to handle shipments for Chiquita Fresh North America at the Californian port of Hueneme.
Chiquita began its new service at Hueneme in mid-November with the call of its vessel, “Chiquita Brenda.”
Last year, Metropolitan entered into a long-term contract with LauritzenCool to handle all its citrus, bananas and containers arriving in Hueneme. The stevedore, based in Wilmington, Calif., also handles autos, steel, containers, heavy freight, forest products, bulk materials, and passenger vessel baggage and stores.
