THE Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has added Houston on the rotation in their Santana trans-Pacific service, linking Vietnam and Central China to the US Gulf and East Coasts, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The port will be the first port call in the US for the service.
'MSC is a long-running, valued partner for us, and MSC's new service provides much-needed capacity in the transpacific trade for Port Houston's growing list of BCO customers,' said port executive director Roger Guenther.
'MSC's Santana service links Houston directly with Vietnam, an important and fast-growing market for our region.'
Houston saw double-digit growth for nine consecutive months in 2021 and surpassed the three million TEU mark in November 2021.
