OOCL adds NY and drops Panama port call to boost ECX1 service
HONG Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) announced that New York (Maher Terminal) has now been added to the port rotation of its East Coast Express 1 (ECX1) service, while Colon, Panama, has been dropped, in a move to "better cater for the shipping needs" of its customers.
OOCL said that with the enhancement in service, transit times to New York from Shanghai and Ningbo will take 23 and 25 days respectively and will be among the most competitive in the market.
"This is designed to provide customers with a significantly improved product by taking advantage of the new air draft clearance of the Bayonne Bridge to accommodate for the 13,000-14,000 TEU containerships," the shipping line said in a statement.
The new port rotation of the ECX1 is: Hong Kong, Yantian, Ningbo, Shanghai, via Panama Canal, New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Charleston, and Hong Kong.
The new arrangement will start with the eastbound CMA CGM Roosevelt sailing (ROV) 123E in Week 42 (ETA Hong Kong on October 18) and the return westbound journey 124W in Week 46 (ETA New York on November 18).
