CSX LINES TO LAUNCH WEEKLY NEW ORLEANS/PUERTO RICO SERVICE

CSX LINES TO LAUNCH WEEKLY NEW ORLEANS/PUERTO RICO SERVICE    CSX Lines will begin a new weekly service between New Orleans and San Juan, Puerto Rico in late March.
   The service will be integrated into the shipping line’s weekly vessel string that includes calls at Houston and Jacksonville.
   CSX Lines vice president Brian Taylor said that his company is the only carrier in the Puerto Rico trade offering vessel service from the U.S. Gulf.
   The New Orleans sailing will leave every Saturday and arrive in San Juan the following Friday morning, providing a weekly, six-day transit, Taylor said.
   In another service change, CSX Lines will consolidate its current Northeast services into a weekly Friday night departure arriving at San Juan the following Tuesday morning, effective March 31.
