Famous Pacifi c Shipping (FPS) Rotterdam has beefed up its South American oceanfreight connections with the launch of a new fortnightly consolidation service to Cartagena, Colombia. This service adds to FPS Rotterdam’s existing services to Santos, Buenos Aires, Callao, Valparaiso and Colon.

This new direct fortnightly oceanfreight forwarding service between Rotterdam and Cartagena has been developed in connection with FPS Rotterdam’s partner in Colombia. This service can handle FCL and LCL shipments.

Says Jean Paul van Munster, managing director of FPS Rotterdam: “There is no doubt that in announcing this new service, we are building on our strong and successful network from Rotterdam to South America serving five ports by adding a sixth destination.”

Cartagena is being developed as a major hub for South American import and export traffi c. By establishing this timely service, FPS Rotterdam is ideally suited to be a significant forwarder operating in this trade.
