Miramar, Florida, November 14, 2016. SeaLand, the Intra-Americas regional ocean carrier of the Maersk Group, today announces two new, direct, all-water NAE service connections with the addition of port calls in Turbo and Puerto Moin. The expanded NAE service features expedited service between the Caribbean, Costa Rica and Colombia and the U.S. East Coast, including Philadelphia and New York, as well as other major markets in the U.S. Southeast. The first sailing of the expanded NAE is December 11th from Philadelphia; the vessel arrives in Turbo, Colombia December 23rd.
