APL doubles capacity, frequency of Guam Saipan Express (GSX) service
SINGAPORE's APL is adding a second vessel to its Guam Saipan Express (GSX) service and increasing the sailing frequency from fortnightly to a weekly, effective from late December with a departure from Yokohama.
Currently operated by the 1,100-TEU APL Guam and soon, the 1,600-TEU APL Saipan, the enhanced GSX service will double its frequency calls to the ports of Busan, Yokohama, Guam and Saipan. Scheduled to arrive in Guam just ahead of every weekend, the service aims to facilitate in-store inventory for shop retailers, a company statement said.
"The enhancement of the GSX service is timely as infrastructure development, tourism and commercial activities continue to build up in Guam," said general manager, Guam/Micronesia, John Selleck. "The more frequent GSX service will speed up essential cargo shipments from the US mainland to the islands, especially Guam where 75 per cent of her inbound freight originate from the US mainland."
Currently, the GSX service is facilitating cargo shipments from the US mainland via the connecting service, Eagle Express service (EX1) in Busan, Korea and Yokohama, Japan.
