Evergreen Line and China Shipping Container Lines are teaming up to start a trans-Pacific service later this month linking Los Angeles and Oakland with central and northern China.
The lines said that they are launching the new service, which is to be called the China/South US West Coast Service 2 (CPS2), in response to the booming Asia - U.S. trade, which has been experiencing shortages of vessel space in both directions earlier this year.
The CPS2 service will initially deploy five 4,000-TEU vessels on the following 35-day port rotation: Oakland, Los Angeles, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo and back to Oakland.
The first vessel to sail on the service will be the Ever Develop, which will depart Qingdao on May 29 and is expected to arrive in Oakland on June 13.
