U.S. shipping and logistics company Crowley has expanded its ocean shipping services with its first-ever route between the U.S. Northeast and Central America, to be served by Avance Class LNG-powered containerships.

Utilizing new Avance Class vessels, the five-day transit between the Port of Philadelphia’s Gloucester Marine Terminal and ports in Guatemala and Honduras is expected to enable the deliveries of food, apparel, industrial products, and consumer goods to and from the Central America Northern Zone, which also includes El Salvador and Nicaragua, Crowley said.
