The addition of Jacksonville to the APX US eastbound port rotation will provide exporters with greater flexibility and expanded South Atlantic port coverage, said MOL.
The first APX vessel to include Jacksonville in its port rotation is scheduled to sail from TraPac’s newest terminal at Jaxport on May 9.
The APX eastbound port rotation is as follows: Miami – Jacksonville – Savannah – Charleston – New York – Rotterdam – Bremerhaven – Felixstowe
“In today’s economy there is a very real need for more cost-effective services. By offering a direct export service from a key hub like Jacksonville, MOL is responding to that need,” said Tsuyoshi Yoshida, executive vice president, MOL Trade Management.
