More than 10 shipping companies are working overtime to launch ships, and the new capacity on the US route has reached 50% in two weeks | First Shipping
Scramble to grab the US line
According to the latest information from One Shipping, China United Shipping (CUL), which had joined the US line during the epidemic, is expected to open a new trans-Pacific West Coast TP1 route on June 7. China United Line is one of the many shipping companies that are currently opening, resuming and adding new capacity to the US line.
Linerlytica, a container shipping consulting firm, estimates that the new routes and overtime ships currently appearing on the US route are expected to increase the capacity from 377,000 TEUs (20-foot containers) per week two weeks ago to 560,000 TEUs, a two-week increase of 50%. Currently, more than 10 container shipping companies have added ships to the US route.
It is reported that China United Shipping's new route will stop at Shekou, Ningbo, Qingdao, Long Beach and Shekou, using 6 container ships of 2,400 to 2,800 TEUs to provide weekly service. Ding Wei, the company's president, said that the company responded to the requirements of cargo companies and direct customers to join the US West Coast route with its own new ships, which meet the AMP (shore power) regulations of California, and leased ships to fill the routes originally operated by these 6 ships.
According to incomplete statistics from First Shipping, as of today in China, in just the past two weeks, 10 shipping companies have taken immediate action, either launching new routes, resuming suspended routes, or adding temporary overtime ships.
It is also known that the Excellence Alliance, to which Yang Ming Marine Transport belongs, will also launch a new route. The alliance originally planned to launch the new PSW route to the southwest coast of the United States in May this year, but had previously postponed the launch due to a sharp drop in cargo volume on the China-US line. After China and the United States set a tariff grace period, it was decided to officially start sailing on June 5, with plans to sail with six container ships that can carry 6,000 to 8,000 TEUs, providing one weekly service.
In addition, Zim's trans-Pacific ZX2 express service, which was suspended in late April, will resume operations this Friday. It is estimated that this is the route with the shortest service suspension in shipping history. The ZX2 route runs from Shanghai to Ningbo to Los Angeles to Shanghai, and deploys five 5,500-TEU container ships. This time the resumption of service will add Xiamen Port.
Koryo Shipping (KMTC) will join the America West Coast (AWC) route jointly operated by TCS and Singapore's SeaLead on June 17, and will upgrade the 2,900-5,600 TEU container ships originally used on the route to 6,000-10,000 TEU ships.
In terms of overtime ships, Hapag-Lloyd and Wan Hai Lines have also launched their own overtime ships in the United States. Wan Hai Lines temporarily moved its "WANHAI516" ship, which originally served the China-India CI2 route, to the West Coast route of the United States, calling at ports including Shenzhen, Shekou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Long Beach Port Oakland.
