China Shipping Container Lines is terminating its weekly westbound around-the-world Asia-Med-America Express (AMAX) service, company officials told Canada's Halifax Chronicle Herald.
"It was an oddball service, and revenues produced were not up to [company] needs, and they decided to disband it and reallocate the ships to other services," said Bernie Dumas of China Shipping (Canada) Agency. The AMAX service has been running two years and was considered experimental, he said.
The around the world service deploys ten 4,150-TEU scale vessels with a rotation of: Lianyungang, Busan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Yantian, Chiwan, Port Kelang, Damietta, Haifa, Naples, Genoa, Barcelona; Valencia; Halifax, New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Miami, Los Angeles and back to Lianyungang.
