Horizon Logistics, LLC, a subsidiary of Horizon Lines, Inc.,the nation's leading domestic ocean shipping and integrated logistics company, today announced a new automotive vehicle shipping service launched by DAS Global Services in the U.S. mainland-Puerto Rico trade lane. Horizon Lines, LLC, has been named the "carrier of choice" for this service.

DAS Global Services (DASGS) is the international division of Dependable Auto Shippers (DAS), the industry leader in domestic and international vehicle relocation, moving some 100,000 vehicles, boats, RV's, heavy equipment and motorcycles per year. With the help of Horizon Logistics, the company has started a weekly service from Port Elizabeth, N.J., to San Juan, Puerto Rico. DASGS shipments depart every Friday and arrive in San Juan the following Tuesday, making vehicles available on Thursday the same week of arrival.

"Our goal was to create a fast, reliable and secure service to Puerto Rico via the Elizabeth seaport," said DASGS Executive Vice President Michael Liquori. "We are partnering with Horizon Logistics, leveraging their information technology capabilities as well as the liner capacity of sister company Horizon Lines. With this affiliation, along with our experienced agents in San Juan, we are confident that we can build a leadership position in the Puerto Rico vehicle trade as we have previously in the Europe and Hawaii markets."

DASGS is employing a Horizon Logistics web portal, www.shipmyvehicle.com, and has launched a similar containerized service in the Hawaii market that has proved extremely popular, currently handling over 2,700 vehicles per year via a Horizon Lines service.

"We look forward to working with DAS to provide the speed and reliability necessary to succeed in the Puerto Rico trade lane. DAS has always shown that creativity and partnership will drive success and we value their relationship across all our ventures with them," said Brian Taylor, President Horizon Logistics.
