Horizon Lines offers two direct weekly sailings from Jacksonville to Puerto Rico, one weekly sailing from Elizabeth, New Jersey, and the only direct vessel call to the U.S. Gulf with service from Houston every fourteen days.

The company has also incorporated two of its younger, larger vessels into the Puerto Rico trade, the Horizon Trader and Horizon Navigator. Horizon says its investment in these ships means improved capacity for 45ft dry and 40ft refrigerated containers and more availability for hazardous cargo.
