Frank D'Ambra, president of Aries International, a forwarder/NVO based in Franklin Square, N.Y., signed with NAAA over a year ago.

"We joined because we wanted to make sure that we're able to better compete with other types of operators," D'Ambra said."Unless you can buy ocean transportation cheaply, you can't compete."

The benefit to NAAA is Aries' specialization in the North Atlantic and Mideast cargo markets, and its import business from the Far East to the United States.Aries moves about 8,500 TEUs annually.

"We compete with each other, but at the same time we cooperate on bringing volumes into the association to achieve better rates," D'Ambra said."The days of standing alone as mid-sized operators are over.We're a team player."

Ultimately, NAAA would like to build annual cargo volumes of 150,000 to 250,000 TEUs during the next several years.
