The Tropical Shipping family would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support over the last year and to wish you a happy holiday season. In observance of the holidays, Tropical Shipping offices, Port of Palm Beach terminal and the Miami, West Palm Beach and New Jersey LCL Cargo Facilities will be closed Monday, December 25, 2017.

As a result, please view the changes to our vessel schedule, cargo and documentation cut-off times during the holiday weeks listed below.  (Because bonded full container load cargo must be validated by Customs, it is imperative that Tropical Shipping receives the cargo and documents prior to the cut-offs listed below).
