Introduces single, all-inclusive rate for major Chinese ports
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 12, 2025-- ECU Worldwide, Allcargo Logistics' wholly owned global subsidiary, has launched XLERATE 2.0, setting new industry benchmarks for speed and reliability in global logistics. The service operates via sea routes from major Chinese ports and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to Los Angeles, followed by inland distribution to 10 newly added, strategic locations across the United States. This expansion enhances ECU Worldwide’s ability to provide expedited delivery times and reliable cargo movement for time-sensitive shipments from Asia to the USA.
With this growth, ECU Worldwide has strengthened its network across major U.S. cities, including Seattle, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver, Detroit, San Antonio, Charleston, Kansas City, Laredo and San Juan. These expansion increases our network from 20 to 30 locations, further reinforcing ECU Worldwide's delivery services and expanding its reach for customers across the US.
ECU Worldwide simplifies pricing with transparent, all-inclusive rates, ensuring no hidden charges or pre-carriage fees for key Asian ports. Offering all-inclusive rate from both China main ports and Ho Chi Minh City customers benefit from clear, predictable costs.
Additionally, the Exclusive Priority Service enhances XLERATE shipments with priority handling at these ports including Ho Chi Minh City. This eliminates traditional 2–3 hour waiting periods, ensuring faster, more reliable cargo movement.
Commenting on XLERATE 2.0's launch, Niels Nielsen, Regional Head USA & Canada - "XLERATE 2.0 marks a significant leap forward in global logistics. With industry-leading transit times, cargo is available in just 12 days from vessel sailing from Shanghai / Shenzhen & 19 days from Ho Chi Minh City to Los Angeles and final delivery to our expanded network of 30 locations will be completed within 15–25 days. This enhanced geographic coverage, combined with streamlined processes and priority handling, empowers our customers to maintain a competitive edge in their markets while building more resilient supply chains."
ECU Worldwide's extensive network spans over 300 offices across 180 countries, operating more than 2400 direct trade lanes. This comprehensive global presence ensures seamless multimodal transport connectivity between manufacturing hubs and fulfilment centres worldwide.

- Allport Cargo ServicesOver a period of many years, Diamond Global Logistics have chosen to place business with ECU Worldwide UK. The service given to us by Ian, mark and their colleagues has been exemplary. In our view, ECU have set standards in customer service that other companies can only dream of. We are approached on a frequent basis by ECU’s competitors but no matter what they claim to be able to offer us, we are never convinced as to their abilities to attain the high standards that we seek in our service providers. In these days of rates being seen to be the all-important factor, with service often being an afterthought by many, ECU are a breath of fresh air in the marketplace. The relationship Diamond Global Logistics has with ECU is one that we place great value upon.
