SCHEDULE UPDATE – TRADE ASIA TO CANADA WEST COAST

PORT ROTATION CHANGE ON SANTANA SERVICE

SCHEDULE UPDATE – TRADE ASIA TO CANADA WEST COAST

MSC is planning to adjust the sailing program on its Asia to Canada West Coast network to better match actual departure dates from Asia. As such the following vessel will slide 1 week:

You may continue to place bookings as usual as we are arranging a contingency plan with alternative services.

PORT ROTATION CHANGE ON SANTANA SERVICE

As part of our continuous efforts to streamline our services for improved transit times and schedule reliability, MSC would like to announce a port rotation change on its Santana Service, as from week 24.

Effective from the sailing of vessel MSC POLARIS, voyage UX324 A, from Haiphong on 8 June, our service will call at Port Everglades instead of Miami in the USA. There are no changes to the transit times due to the swap of ports.

The revised rotation is as follows: Haiphong – Shanghai – Ningbo – Busan – Rodman – Caucedo – Port Everglades – Charleston – Baltimore – New York – Boston – Singapore

Port Everglades Benefits
Service Reliability: fast berthing supports vessel schedule reliability.
Fluid Terminal Operations: sufficient storage space and efficient gate systems allow for easy pick-up and empty return. • Cost-Savings: importers can depend upon timely availability and access to cargo.
Favorable Geographic Location: close access to major distribution centers serving south Florida.
