THE Port of Hueneme, the fourth biggest on the US west coas, 60 miles up from Los Angeles, has secured a new charter vessel with fedex Logistics, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The vessel, the first of three, departed on January 4 from the Pearl Estuary's Port Humen, 50 miles north of Shenzhen, is to arrive by the end of January.
The charter vessel has a capacity of 300 53 footers containing electronics, auto parts, and garments, as well as general department store merchandise, which are essential items that will get to the store shelves right away for purchasing.
'Our joint use agreement with Naval Base Ventura County is a partnership to increase operational efficiency,' said Jason Hodge, president of the Oxnard Harbour District, owner of the port.
Said Hueneme port director and CEO Kristin Decas: 'When we make cargo move, we do our part to alleviate congestion at other west coast ports and get products to consumers.'
'The navy, and Naval Base Ventura County, greatly value our long-standing relationships with the Port of Hueneme and our local communities,' said Capt Robert Kimnach, commanding officer, Naval Base Ventura County.
'Working together through our standing Joint Use Agreement, we've enabled a few creative solutions for a complex challenge that will help alleviate some of the supply chain congestion,' he said.
Said FedEx Logistics chief Udo Lange: 'FedEx is thrilled to collaborate with everyone at Port of Hueneme as we put our collective strength and expertise together to create a value-added solution for our customers.'
