A group of major shipping lines has selected the Port of Charleston for a new, all-water service connecting the growing Southeast US region with South Korea and Central and South China.
The South China East Coast Express 2 (SCE2) service, a joint service operated by the Grand Alliance carriers of Hapag-Lloyd, OOCL and NYK Line, along with ZIM Integrated Shipping Services and Hyundai Merchant Marine, will launch on May 12 from Pusan, South Korea.
The carriers will add weekly capacity of approximately 4,200 TEUs to the trade, expanding business opportunities for the hundreds of South Carolina companies that rely on international trade.
International ports of call on the service are Pusan, South Korea; Shanghai, Xiamen, Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong and Yantian, China; Manzanillo, Mexico; and Kingston, Jamaica.
The SCE2 will call North Charleston Terminal, adding 52 ship calls a year and boosting economic impacts and jobs across the local maritime community.
