APL's newly launched Eagle Express X (EXX) service arrived at the port of Los Angeles on August 15 after an 11-day ocean transit. The ship's arrival also marked the launch of expeditious last mile delivery of import cargo with same-day cargo availability at the Eagle Marine Services (EMS) terminal.
The EXX service calls the ports of Ningbo, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Dutch Harbour, Yokohama and Busan.
'We are delighted that the first voyage of the EXX service which set sail from China with a full shipment has lived-up to its X-factor service delivery. Shippers of the service secured their desired equipment and space at the Chinese load ports, as well as achieved a swift delivery of cargo to the local California market where APL has deployed a fully-wheeled operation at the EMS terminal,' said APL North America president Ed Aldridge.
APL's EXX service is supported by a dedicated container yard within the terminal, a dedicated fleet of new GPS-enabled chassis and exclusive truck gates. As a result, 70 per cent of the local cargo discharged from the APL Japan was available for pick-up within four hours of vessel operation and 100 per cent was available at the end of the day.
