Chief Operating Officer Franck Kayser stated: “Our customers have repeatedly encouraged us to expand our service portfolio, as they see TCC’s services as a good supplement to the more established service providers in the market. Right now, the greatest demand from our customers is a push to get a good TCC product from Qingdao. With a fast 14 day transit time, combined with a schedule reliability of 96%, we are now able to provide such a service.”
The first sailing from Qingdao is scheduled to take place 15 November with the 2,900TEU vessel Shenzhen Dragon. This service will have a scheduled transit time of 14 days to Los Angeles and provide customers with a no-frills, reliable, port to port service. The first westbound sailing from Los Angeles to Qingdao will take place on 25 October.
