Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) has resumed its weekly container shipping service called the Pacific southwest (PSW), reported Manila Bulletin.
The return of the US West Coast service is in line with the expected growth of 2010 trade volume for Northeast Asia.
The PSW directly connects Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and South China to the ports of Oakland and Long Beach, California.
Asian imports are carried on the PSW with competitive transit times, such as 10 days from Busan, Korea to Long Beach.
The PSW currently offers the industry’s fastest transit times from Long Beach to Xiamen at only 17 days. This HMM service also provides the current quickest times from Oakland to the ports of Busan, Kaohsiung and Xiamen at 11, 14 and 15 days, respectively.
The first vessel in the eastbound sailing for the PSW service, the Hyundai Commodore 524, departed Kaohsiung on May 20.
The PSW rotation is Kaohsiung, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Yantian, Busan, Long Beach, Oakland, Busan and Hong Kong. The service will have five vessels with an average capacity of 4,060 TEUs.
