Florham Park, N.J. - A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) expanded its air freight operations footprint with the April activation of a full-service, in-transit gateway solution in Miami. This new air freight facility underscores Maersk’s commitment to providing seamless and competitive connectivity to major Latin American markets. The Miami gateway will serve as a strategic node in Maersk's global air freight network.
Our Miami expansion is a vital and strategic addition to our global gateway network, providing connectivity from Asia, Europe, and the US to Latin America.
The new gateway, modeled after operations in Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles, will focus on transhipping European and Asian cargo via Miami to Latin America with competitive connectivity on freighter and passenger capacity. It will support the North American export market to Latin America and the Asian market that serves the Latin American supply chain via cost competitive U.S. routes.
Fully staffed by in-house Maersk Air Freight forwarding professionals, the 90,000 square foot facility (8,000 square meters) is expected to have significant southward flows and offers key certifications, including:
- U.S. Customs bonded Container Freight Station (CFS)
- Certified Cargo Screening Facility (CCSF)
