Chilean carrier CSAV is adding the Port of Savannah to the port rotation of its all-water service from Asia to the U.S. East Coast, the Georgia Ports Authority said Monday.
The weekly Amex service links North China and South Korea with the East Coast of North America. It first called on Garden City Terminal in mid-December 2010.
Savannah is the first port inbound on the U.S. East Coast after the Caribbean transshipment hub at Kingston.
The Amex port rotation is: Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang, Busan, Manzanillo (Panama), Kingston, Savannah, New York-New Jersey, Charleston, Port Everglades, Kingston, Cartagena, and back to Ningbo.
The Amex service has 10 vessels, which range from 3,500 to 4,200 20-foot equivalent units.
This is the second CSAV Latin American service to begin calling at Savannah in the last 18 months. CSAV also participates in the Tango Sling 2 East Coast South America service with MSC, which calls at Savannah’s Garden City Terminal.
