Streamline’s Blue Stream Liner Service Begins Calling Port Canaveral
Port Canaveral on January 31 celebrated the arrival of the M/V Norderoog’s first call, launching StreamLine’s Blue Stream liner service connecting Canaveral Cargo Terminal to Central America, South America, Europe and the Caribbean. It is the first liner service to use the new terminal, which GT USA operates and manages under a lease agreement with the port authority. Canaveral is its exclusive U.S. port of call.
"This service marks a milestone in our history and is a huge win for us as we continue to grow and diversify our cargo operations," said Alberto Cabrera, Port Canaveral’s senior director of cargo business development. "This service allows Port Canaveral to offer a cost- and time-saving gateway for shippers importing and exporting refrigerated and dry container products."
GT USA’s Canaveral Cargo Terminal, the port’s only dedicated container terminal, opened for business in June 2015 with 20 acres, two berths and two gantry cranes to serve large vessels. Annual throughput capacity is 200,000 TEUs.
"Canaveral Cargo Terminal offers our customers the world-class operational efficiency they need to expand their import and export cargo capabilities from Florida," said GT USA’s Canaveral Cargo Terminal General Manager Peter Richards.
According to the port, the terminal is able to turn around cargo between Port Canaveral and the Orlando area within one to two hours.
Blue Stream transit times are three days from Central America to Port Canaveral in just three days and 11 days between Florida and Europe.
