Grand China Now Calling in Long Beach

4/27/2011 10:09:43 AM

The Port of Long Beach Tuesday welcomed the newest trans-Pacific container line, Grand China Logistics, which is entering the increasingly competitive trade lane between China and the U.S. West Coast.

 

“Fate brings us together,” Chairman Jia Hongxiang told the welcoming ceremonies for the maiden voyage of Red Strength, the first of five vessels of approximately 3,000-TEU capacity that will call at the Total Terminals Inc. facility on the weekly Super Pacific Express service.

 

Grand China Logistics was formed in July 2007 and has been operating in the intra-Asia trades, but it was just a matter of time before the new carrier would enter the trans-Pacific trade, Jia said.

The SPX service calls in Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Ningbo, Shanghai and Long Beach. Grand China also offers intermodal connections to inland hubs such as Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis, Dallas and Houston.

 

Grand China Logistics intends to expand rapidly in the largest U.S. trade lane. The container line next month will launch a second trans-Pacific service from additional cities in China to Long Beach, and next year will begin an all-water service to the U.S. East Coast, Jia said.
