CKYHE calls at Xiamen now that 13,000-TEUers have joined transpac loop

5/20/2014 8:40:11 AM

XIAMEN International Container Terminals (XICT), a Hutchison holding, has won a call from the South China-US West Coast Service (SEA) from the CKYHE Alliance, made up of Cosco, "K" Line, Yang Ming, Hanjin and Evergreen.

The addition of the deepwater Xiamen terminal followed an upgrade to 13,092 TEUers, deployed by Evergreen and Cosco, on a rotation through Taipei, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Shenzhen-Yantian, Long Beach, Los Angeles and back to Taipei.

The transpacific service (CALCO-C/PSW1) will be jointly operated by "K" Line and Wan Hai, with Cosco, Hanjin, Yang Ming and Pacific International Lines sharing slots.

Said XICT general manager Gary Chung: "We have a quay length 1,083 metres and a depth alongside of 17.5 metres enabling us to handle mega-vessels up to 150,000 deadweight tonnes.

"This distinguishes us from other ports in the Southeast China region. Additionally, XICT has been undertaking a quay reinforcement and berth upgrade programme, enhancing our capabilities to handle multiple mega-vessels simultaneously," said Mr Chung.

The CALCO-C/PSW1 service has a total of six vessels with capacities ranging from 5,600 TEU to 6,040 TEU. It has a port rotation of Hong Kong, Shenzhen-Yantian, Xiamen, Long Beach and Shenzhen-Yantian.
