ONE to Oakland
The Japanese container condominium ONE has started operating its new weekly service called the Far East-Pacific 2. The first ship in the service, the ONE Aquila, just called the US ports Long Beach and Oakland International Container Terminal for the first time. Each of the vessels in the service has a capacity to carry 14,000 teu.
Port of Oakland maritime director John Driscoll commented: “The size of the ships means extra cargo capacity coming to Oakland and the port rotation extends Oakland’s reach in global markets.”
The Far East-Pacific 2 eastbound port rotation is Jeddah, Singapore, Laem Chabang, Cai Mep, Hong Kong, Yantian, Long Beach and Oakland. The stops at Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah port are Oakland’s first direct connection to the Middle East.
The Far East-Pacific 2 westbound port rotation is Oakland, Yokohama, Hong Kong, Laem Chabang, Cai Mep and Singapore before heading to Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp and Southampton on the European portion of its rotation. (mw)
