Ready Venture Corp announces official launch of car shipping website Cartran.net

Wilmington, Delaware - August, 28 2013 - We are a Car Shipping Company that provides shipping and logistics services for Cars, Sport Utility Vehicles, Trucks, Automotive, Recreational Vehicles, Heavy Equipment, Boats, Water Craft and Motorcycle's at low rates from the USA to over 200+ countries worldwide.

 

Cartran.net provides vehicle shipping and transport services for individuals and companies exporting Cars, SUVs’, Trucks, Wheeled Equipment and other Auto's to over 200 plus countries worldwide. We have an extensive network of shipping lines along with our custom tailored software that allows us to provide quick rate quotes to customers. We ship vehicles by two methods Containerization and Roro otherwise known as roll on roll off. Cargo that cannot fit into a container must be shipped by RORO which is the cheapest way to ship vehicles, cars, trucks, autos and boats as containers have to be packed and transported to the terminal and may take up more space than necessary. Cars, SUV’S, Trucks, Wheeled equipment and all other auto’s are strapped down and loaded below deck into the hull of the ship that is completely weather proof. No exposure to the elements or salty air / water. For the Container Shipping method we provide 20" and 40" containers which have to be retro fitted with webbing and straps to keep the vehicles in place while shipping. We always recommend RORO Shipping. That's not to say that RORO shipping is always better than Container shipping but if you are relocating overseas and have other items to send with the vehicle then RORO is not an option for you. Or you may be shipping to a port which is only serviced by container vessels then this is the method for you.

 

Cartran.net is the brain child of Kevin PC Blake of Ready Venture Corp and it is our main goal to provide the highest possible quality of service to our customers.

"Customs houses were built in all major Australian ports in the nineteenth century. Customs and excise duties were an important source of revenue, levied on goods from overseas and in some cases from other colonies. The port of Brisbane grew quickly so in 1884 the Queensland government agreed to replace its existing Customs House at Petrie Bight, a modest single storey brick structure, with a much grander edifice. Designed by Charles McLay of the Colonial Architect's office, it is two storeys high on the Queen Street frontage, while three storeys are visible from the river side. Its grand public space, The Long Room, is surmounted by a copper sheathed dome. With work commencing in 1886, this imposing and rare surviving masterpiece of the Colonial Architects Office took three years and £38,346 to build.

 

The Brisbane Customs House is a fine example of Victorian Free Classical style, with its grand colonnades and portico, and a dome which still manages to be a major feature on the landscape, despite being overlooked by adjacent high rise office and apartment blocks.

 

After Federation in 1901 the Customs House became part of the commonwealth government's customs service and some of its elegant rooms were carved up as offices. Surrounded by busy wharves and trams, it became one of Brisbane's best known buildings. With the move to containerization all the major wharves in central Brisbane were demolished, with new wharves being built much nearer the river mouth. In 1988 the Customs House, which at its peak had 300 staff, closed and custom activities left their symbolic home on the river for an office block up the road. The Customs House is one of the few reminders that central Brisbane was once a great river port.

 

Conscious of the heritage value of the House, the Commonwealth government negotiated a lease with the University of Queensland which agreed to restore the property, generously supported by donations. Customs House re-opened in October 1994 and the building now serves as a downtown presence for many university activities. Its magnificent Long Room and other public rooms are available for a variety of cultural, community and business functions. Its role as a Customs House can still be seen in a number of historical displays and in the layout and fabric of the building itself."

Surely, the sort of thinking which is applied to the production of such floating resorts with their independent desalination plants and climate controlled environments are the precursors of some future endeavor in space. Perhaps lessons for the future of lunar living or the century distant reality of martian colonization are being fleshed out in vessels like these.

 

Mankind has won some mastery over the alien environment of the seas only in the last 50 years, after all. The whole notion of predictable oceanic crossings, on a precisely defined and clockwork schedule, is one of the modern world’s great and historical achievements. Don’t get me started on containerization, which is the best thing that’s happened to civilization since the Arabs invented numbers and the Turks popularized coffee drinking.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Aug. 5, 2019) - Cargo activity through Jacksonville’s seaport positively impacts tens of thousands of jobs and supports nearly $31.1 billion in annual economic output for the region and state, according to a newly released study. The study, citing double-digit growth in the port’s total economic impact over the last five years, was conducted by Martin Associates, a widely recognized maritime research firm.

 

In the Jacksonville area, the study concludes that 26,282 people are employed in port-dependent positions—direct, indirect and induced jobs relying on the port. This figure represents a nearly 8 percent increase over a previous study conducted in 2013. The port’s total economic value of $31.1 billion has also increased 15 percent during this time. In addition, the study finds that 138,500 jobs across the state of Florida are related to cargo moving through Jacksonville’s port.

 

Port-dependent jobs pay an average annual salary of $70,570, well above the state of Florida average salary for all occupations of $46,010.

 

JAXPORT’s Asian container trade is a primary driver of the port’s containerized cargo growth, up 89 percent since 2013. JAXPORT offers competitive transit times to destinations in Asia including China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand and more.

 

The port achieved significant Asian volume increases following the 2017 decision by the JAXPORT Board of Directors to begin construction on the project to deepen the Jacksonville shipping channel to 47 ft. The report finds that this steady volume growth underscores the importance of harbor deepening, which will allow JAXPORT to accommodate more cargo aboard the increasingly larger ships calling Jacksonville. The project is ahead of schedule and expected to be complete in 2023, based on continued funding from all partners.

 

A previous study conducted by Martin Associates in 2014 projected that JAXPORT’s Asian container business would generate 5,675 direct, indirect and induced jobs by the year 2020. The new study finds the actual number of these jobs in 2018 has already reached 5,538, a difference of about 2 percent from the forecast for 2020.

 

The report also finds that every 1,000 vehicles that move through the port supports 1.6 direct local jobs. JAXPORT is the nation’s second largest vehicle-handling port, moving more than 665,000 units last year.

 

“The successes we are experiencing throughout all of our lines of business have a direct and lasting impact on our region and state,” said JAXPORT CEO Eric Green. “The more we continue to invest in this port and grow our reputation as a global gateway into the Southeast U.S., the more jobs we create for our neighbors and the more revenue we put back into our area’s economy.”

 

The study concludes that in 2018, cargo activity at Jacksonville’s seaport generated $2.6 billion in business revenue, including $767.4 million in wages, $634.6 million in business purchases and $247.1 million in state and local taxes.
