TCB Group has announced the launch of a new direct LCL import service from New York, further strengthening its established LCL network serving the Irish market. The service will operate from New York offering a direct routing with an initial bi-weekly schedule.
The first departure is planned for week 11 (second week of March), with final sailing details to be advised closer to launch. The service has already attracted strong interest from agents across Ireland, with early support reflecting clear market demand for a reliable, competitive LCL option on this key transatlantic trade lane.
TCB Group is already a leading provider of LCL consolidation services for Irish agents, operating direct consols from major origins including Qingdao, Xiamen, Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Taiwan, Singapore, Colombo, Nhava Sheva, and the Netherlands, supporting efficient first-leg services from the Far East and beyond into Ireland. The addition of New York represents a strategic extension of this global portfolio.
“The launch of this service is a direct response to the feedback we’ve been hearing from the market,” said Gareth McCaffrey, Business Development Manager at TCB Group. “Agents have been looking for stronger, more competitive options on this route, and the introduction of our New York LCL service addresses a clear gap in our service portfolio. Ultimately, it’s about giving agents the services they need to support their customers with confidence.”
““We are determined to keep disrupting the status quo within the neutral shipping market though a positive, proactive and innovative approach,” said Darren Green, Managing Director of TCB Group. “This service took a little longer than expected to bring to market, but we are confident we have the right structure in place to deliver an excellent service for our partners.”
With the launch of the New York LCL service, TCB Group continues to deliver value-added consolidation solutions to meet the needs of Irish shipping agents. Existing and new agent partners are encouraged to contact the TCB Group team for further information, schedules, or quotations.
