The Ocean Alliance will next month remove the Pacific Northwest port of Tacoma from the transpacific HTW service operated by Evergreen, according to Dynaliners.
Following the change, the HTW service will concentrate on calls at Oakland and Los Angeles on the U.S. West Coast. The service will be operated with eight vessels of approximately 15,000 TEU capacity on a weekly basis.
The revised rotation will be: Port Kelang – Ho Chi Minh (Cai Mep) – Taipei – Kaohsiung – Shenzhen (Yantian) – Los Angeles – Oakland – Kaohsiung – Port Kelang.
The move reflects a streamlining of port coverage on the transpacific trade, with capacity focused on key California gateways.
