Transpacific rates push MSC into action
In view of rising demand and high rates on the Transpacific, MSC is launching its new Santana service for the North American west coast. The service will start at the end of August in the port of Yantian, part of Shenzen, and will "remain in place until further notice", as the carrier put it.
The Santana service will call the ports of Yantian, Shanghai, Los Angeles/LGB, Vancouver, Busan and back to Yantian. So far, the vessels to be deployed by the possible partners involved have not been disclosed.
Besides allowing for added capacity to handle the stronger volume demand, the Santana service will offer market-competitive transit times into the US West Coast. (mw)
