3527af20-e9de-4595-900a-2ba0c879e614PRESS RELEASE – Global Shipping, spearheaded by former Dominican Prime Minister Oliver, James Seraphin, has launched a new shipping service to provide a quality, safe and reliable service for the inter-Caribbean trade market.

This shipping service was launched the British Virgin Islands on March 22nd (2016) and will operating out of the U.S./ British Virgin Islands with trade routes to Dominica, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, and St. Martin, Antigua and the Dominican Republic. Other trade ports would be added to the schedule in the near future.

The M.V. American Liberty is the first of two vessels from Global Shipping to begin plying the route between the Caribbean islands, focusing on a trade route and schedules that are either absent or inadequately serviced at this time. MV ‘Sea Rambler’ is the second vessel operating out of St. Thomas, USVI. The vessels are fully air conditioned and equipped with refrigerated storage units.

There is a great demand for shipping between the islands of the Caribbean. “This initiative provides the motivation and confidence that the Caribbean farming and business communities need to increase production through the availability of boats to transport goods that are produced, and source products needed for production” said Oliver Seraphin, President of Global Shipping.

The M.V. American Liberty is expected to arrive in St Vincent and the Grenadines on  April 14th to collect cargo for the British and US Virgin Islands markets. The vessel is expected to make similar stops in St. Lucia on April 17th and Dominica on April 18th and 19th before heading north to Tortola-BVI, and USVI.

The launch of Global Shipping is expected to increase and improve the trade traffic and movement of goods such as building materials, farming supplies, agricultural produce, beverages and other products available for trade between the Caribbean islands.

Seraphin says customers can expect competitive rates and schedule conducive to demands and supply; as the final link in the chain for export that is much needed in the Caribbean trade sector.
