THE market-leading Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) announced improvements to its Asia to Pacific Northwest services, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The improvements come as a consequence of rail congestion and berthing restrictions in Vancouver.
msc 2M Eagle and Maple services have suffered reliability problems and extended transit times during 2022.
As of late October, the Eagle service will be merged into the Maple service, covering Vancouver and Prince Rupert.
The change will remove the current waiting times in Vancouver and allow MSC to offer regular weekly departures from Asia and competitive transit times.
The new Maple rotation will start from voyage 243N, sailing from Xiamen on October 28, and rotate through Xiamen, Yantian, Ningbo, Shanghai, Busan, Yokohama, Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Yokohama and back to Busan.
