It has been newly learned that in the face of the continuous sharp drop in freight rates caused by the oversupply of market capacity, a major container liner company in the global container shipping industry has taken action! Yesterday afternoon (July 10), the major shipping company announced that in response to the current trans-Pacific market situation, it has decided to temporarily suspend the PERAL route service until further notice. After suspending the West America PERAL route, the major shipping company also announced that it will make the following adjustments to the SENTOSA and ORIENT routes:
To enhance service coverage, the ORIENT route will add a call at Haiphong Port in Vietnam, with the new port call sequence as follows:
Haiphong - Ningbo - Shanghai - Busan - Long Beach - Oakland
To ensure service connectivity from Xiamen to the U.S. West Coast, the SENTOSA route (eastbound) will add a call at Xiamen, with the new port call sequence as follows: Port Klang - Singapore - Laem Chabang - Vung Tau - Yantian - Xiamen - Long Beach - Oakland
