La Spezia Gateway becomes Faster!
The on-time arrival of the Hanjin Buddha on May 8th marks the maiden voyage of the CKYHE
Alliance string Hanjin Pacific Med Service (HPM / MD3), comprising of 15 x 10,000 ships now
completely deployed by long term customer, Hanjin Shipping.
With calls scheduled to arrive every Sunday in La Spezia, this latest deployment further improves
existing transit times from key Asian ports serving markets in North Italy and South Europe.
The La Spezia System is already recognised by the industry as providing the best average transit
times on the key Shanghai – Italy routing, as confirmed in their whitepaper “A ‘best-route’ market
study for containerised imports to South Germany, Drewry, March 2016”.
Henceforward, connections from Shanghai, where the largest single share of Asia volumes is loaded
from (22 per cent), are now improved by a further two days, giving a port to port transit time of just
25 days, currently the best in class on this important port-pair segment.
Michael Cashman, the Group’s Service Unit Commercial Director enthuses: “Cargo routing using
the La Spezia System continues to benefit from best in class transit times provided by our valued
global shipping line customers. The four weekly Asia – La Spezia calls provide a variety of options
to supply chains. Once discharged, imports are immediately processed for timely inland
connections, with now more than ten per cent moving within one day of ship’s arrival. Now with
even faster transits from Shanghai, supply chains are assured of the optimum and cost effective
routing using the La Spezia System”.
The ship sailed from LSCT on May 9th, on time.
