SeaLand, the intra-Americas regional ocean carrier of the Maersk Group, launched its “Atlantico” service earlier this month.

The Atlantico service offers an alternative transportation option for trade between the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern United States, which generally employs ground transportation. This line is intended to benefit producers and exporters of perishable goods to the U.S. Targeted commodities include goods such as avocados, lemons, tomatoes and commercial cargo.

Stack, Sabatina and Wolf met at the Hilton Hotel on Penn’s Landing with City Councilman Mark Squilla, state Sen. Larry Farnese, state Rep. Bill Keller and Carlos I. Giralt-Cabrales, of the Mexican Consulate. ••
