Ascent Fast Boat speed on the sea
In challenging ocean and air freight markets, our Fast Boat solution assures cost-effective consistency within Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific lanes. You can benefit from 10–21 day port-to-port transit times on a set accelerated schedule. On the West Coast, transport your cargo with direct eastbound service from China and Vietnam to Long Beach with feeder service from Thailand. On the East Coast, transport eastbound and westbound with feeder service available from anywhere in Europe, the UK, Ireland and the U.S.
Switching from air to Fast Boat can reduce transport CO2 emissions by about 90-95%
