Troy Container Line Announces New Partnership With International Forwarding
S.L. of Spain

RED BANK, N.J., 2012-09-25 22:10 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Continuing to make
strides in its 28th year of business, Troy Container Line, one the world's
largest American-owned NVOCCs, today announced a new partnership with
International Forwarding S.L. (IFS) of Spain. After establishing a direct
service to Spain just seven years ago, Troy Container Line will now broaden its
presence in this European market through its partnership with Spain's top
consolidator. 

Troy's COO of exports, Patricia L. Fitzgerald, and Christopher Hellow, COO of
imports, were instrumental in developing this strategic partnership and are
excited for the enhanced level of service it will provide to Troy Container
Line clientele. In addition to improved local representation and increased
efficiencies via IFS' seven offices in Spain, the cooperation opens the market
to handle transit to and from Valencia and Barcelona. 

"Enhancing our services while maintaining the most competitive rates in the
industry is paramount," commented Fitzgerald. "Partnering with a multinational
NVOCC as esteemed as IFS is an ideal foundation by which to expand our exports
to Spain while upholding Troy's unwavering commitment to personalized service.
We look forward to working with a partner that shares our company's vision for
service and efficiency." 

The new partnership with IFS also allows for direct import services from
Valencia and Barcelona into New York, a first-time service for Troy Container
Line clients. Hellow and the company's import department, based in Charlotte,
N.C., look forward to using their experience and expertise in the importation
process to offer IFS clients the personalized service and care on which their
company's reputation is built. 

"The entire import team is looking forward to the new demand this partnership
will bring," added Hellow. "Patricia and I have been involved in every aspect
of the negotiation process for the cooperation as well as managing the internal
operations associated with this partnership. We look forward to building on
this new business with the top-quality service that is the Troy Container Line
tradition." 

Export and import services associated with Troy Container Line's partnership
with IFS will begin the week of September 24, 2012.
