Roadway launches expedited ocean service from China

Roadway launches expedited ocean service from China The Roadway subsidiary of YRC Worldwide, said it is launching an expedited ocean service for less-than-containerload shipments from China to the United States.
   Roadway said its service will feature multiple weekly sailings from seven origin ports in China, and be “at least six days faster than standard ocean transit.”
   The company said priority unloading of containers at U.S. ports would further speed deliveries. Import shipments are expedited through the Roadway network, with guaranteed delivery to final destination.
   The service will be a “cost-effective alternative to air transit,” said Terry Gilbert, Roadway president.
   The service will be offered in conjunction with YRC Logistics Global, an affiliate that is a licensed non-vessel-operating common carrier.
