Troy partners with Cargolines in Europe

   Non-vessel-operating common carrier Troy Container Line has entered an agency partnership with Cargolines in Europe.
   The partnership comes just a year after Troy initiated its direct service to France.
   “This new relationship will improve services on this trade lane for our company’s European clients. We look forward to serving additional customers on a local, more personalized basis throughout France with Cargolines’ already-established five offices,” said Patricia Fitzgerald, chief operating officer of exports at Red Bank, N.J.-based Troy.
   The NVO said the decision to partner agencies was made to streamline Troy Container Line’s framework in Europe. Seacon Carga, Cargolines’ sister company in France, has worked with Troy Container Line for several years, developing reliable network for mutual customers. The new partnership, made official on July 2, will enhance networks and service capabilities for all three entities, Troy said.
   The agency partnership with Cargolines is one of many new announcements made by Troy Container Line in 2012. The NVO recently announced a new container freight station in Savannah, Ga., as well as a new Chicago-to-Rotterdam service and a direct consolidation service to Liverpool and Manchester, England.
