Matson Adds Second China Vessel Service

8/2/2010 10:16:17 AM

Matson Navigation will add a second string of vessels to its China-Long Beach service, bringing new capacity to resurgent trans-Pacific trade lanes.   Matson said the new service will use five chartered 3,500-TEU container ships operating out of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Shanghai to Long Beach. It will join an existing service from Xiamen, Ningbo and Shanghai to Long Beach.   Each service will operate weekly and provide a 10-day transit time, which Matson said is the fastest in the trans-Pacific trade. Matson said the services will be phased in between mid-August and October.   The new service will operate directly from Shanghai to Long Beach, in contrast with the current service, which stops in Hawaii and Guam.   The Journal of Commerce Online
