The 1,065-foot-long vessel has a maximum draft of 47.5 feet.

 

The port rotation of the Golden Gate Service includes Shanghai, Ningbo, Chiwan and Yantian, China; Singapore; Salalah, Oman; Suez Canal transit; New York; Baltimore; Norfolk; Charleston; Freeport, Bahamas; Suez Canal transit; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Singapore; Chiwan; Hong Kong.

 

The service provides a 21-day transit time outbound from Charleston to Jeddah.

 

The arrival of the new service brings the number of its weekly calls at Charleston to six, which serve markets in the western Mediterranean, South American, Caribbean, African and European trades.
