Cosco, Hanjin Add Prince Rupert Services

4/22/2011 9:47:51 AM

Canada's West Coast port of Prince Rupert will add two new weekly trans-Pacific services in May, one by China Ocean Shipping Co. and the other by Hanjin Shipping. That will bring to four the number of weekly calls at Canada's newest container port.   Cosco is adding Prince Rupert to its South China Express service. Prince Rupert will be the last North American port call outbound before the vessels return to Asia.   Hanjin is adding Prince Rupert to its Pacific Northwest Express service. Prince Rupert will be the first call inbound from Busan, South Korea. The vessels will arrive on Saturdays and will then call in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, B.C., before returning to Busan.   This will be the first service at Prince Rupert involving Hanjin vessels, said port spokesman Maynard Angus. Hanjin has been a partner with Cosco in the existing services, but does not contribute vessels.   The Journal of Commerce Online
