HICT WELCOMING THE FIRST DIRECT TRANS-PACIFIC SERVICE TO THE USA AND CANADA

On Apr 11th 2019, Haiphong International Container Terminal Co., Ltd (HICT) has successfully welcomed the maiden call of mother vessel Northern Jaguar deployed by Ocean Network Express (ONE) on PN2 service. Northern Jaguar is one of the large vessels operated by THE ALLIANCE of Hapag Lloyd, Ocean Network Express and Yang Ming Line on Trans-pacific route with regular call at HICT, which provides direct service from the North of Vietnam to West coast of the USA and Canada. 
The PN2 has HICT – Yantian – Tacoma – Vancouver – Kaoshiung - Singapore – Laem Chabang – Cai Mep (TCIT) rotation. This service cuts down the lead time from Haiphong to West coast of the USA and Canada from 25 days to 17 days compared with the previous route calling at overseas transshipment hubs. Thus, it helps customers to significantly reduce logistics costs and take initiative in delivery of goods, without risks at transshipment hubs.
