[ November 4, 2016   //   ]

CaroTrans now offers Northern Europe service connection with the addition of a direct Atlanta-Gothenburg LCL service, effected October 31, 2016.  The service has a 21-day transit time.  A Gothenburg to Atlanta service will follow in an upcoming month.

CaroTrans, with its dedicated partner Nordicon, a leading neutral, NVO consolidator in the Nordic region, offers complete point-to-point distribution services at origin and destination, and online shipment management including rate calculations, bookings and end-to-end track and trace visibility.  Nordicon has offices in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark, and its own warehouse in Gothenburg. CaroTrans offers a comprehensive network of local U.S. container freight stations and 13 offices nationwide.

The Nordic region, which includes Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Norway, is an important U.S. import/export trade area.  The Nordic region with a cultured population of 30 million people and high purchasing power had a total of $11.3 billion in U.S. exports in 2015.  The United States imported $26.9 billion in goods from the Nordic region in 2015, with Sweden the leading import/export trade partner.

CaroTrans and Nordicon deliver the following comprehensive U.S.-Nordic region service network:

  • Gothenburg to Chicago and New York
  • New York to Helsinki, Oslo and Gothenburg
  • Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta to Gothenburg

“Our goal is to provide logistics service providers with the secure, efficient transportation options they require to keep their customers’ supply chains up and running as scheduled.  Direct services reduce handling and add stability so are the optimal transportation choice,” said Greg Howard, CaroTrans, CEO. “It is our pleasure to work with Nordicon, a premier transportation provider in the Nordic region, to deliver this new Atlanta-Gothenburg service.”

“Nordicon and CaroTrans have established a strong and trusted partnership during the last 14 years. With a portfolio of 8 weekly, direct services between USA and the Nordic region, we offer one of the strongest consolidation platforms in the market. Our new service from Atlanta to Gothenburg is just another step in eliminating transshipment costs and reducing transit times for our customers,” said Linus Ahlm, CEO, Nordicon group.
