Beginning on December 13th, Horizon Lines will launch a weekly liner service - the Five Star Express service - with port calls at Shanghai and Ningbo in Central China and Los Angeles and Oakland in California.
Using its five 2,824 TEU capacity Hunter Class vessels, Horizon Lines will offer some of the fastest transit times in the transpacific trade, including eleven-day port-to-port transit from Shanghai to Los Angeles.
Five of Horizon Lines' vessels currently call ports in China under its space-charter agreement with Maersk Line. Once that agreement expires on December 10th, Horizon Lines will begin transporting general cargo on behalf of direct commercial customers.
