Emirates Shipping has announced plans to double the frequency of its Sun Chief Express (SCX) transpacific service, strengthening connectivity between Vietnam, South China and the U.S. West Coast.
From June 2026, the SCX service—operated in cooperation with logistics services provider UWL—will move to a weekly frequency. To support the upgrade, Emirates Shipping will deploy three additional vessels on the route.
The service itinerary is expected to remain unchanged, operating between:
Hai Phong – Ho Chi Minh City – Shenzhen (Shekou) – Seattle – Hai Phong
The frequency increase was highlighted by DynaLiners, reflecting growing demand on the transpacific corridor and Emirates Shipping’s commitment to enhancing service reliability and capacity on the Asia–U.S. West Coast trade lane.
