OOCL will be offering a new service in its Asia – West Coast South America network to enhance its network coverage in the Latin America market.

The Hong Kong-based container shipping and logistics service company said the service will commence from August 2020.

OOCL said its new Transpacific Latin Pacific 3 (TLP3) will offer competitive service and scheduling options for shipments in the region with the shortest transit time in the market between Central China and Mexico (Ningbo to Manzanillo).

"To cater to the demand for quality and customized reefer services from West Coast South America to Asia, the TLP3’s direct connection between Chile and South China offers a competitive transit time of just only 26 days (San Antonio to Hong Kong)," OOCL said.

The new port rotation for TLP3 service: Hong Kong – Yantian – Kaohsiung – Shanghai – Ningbo – Manzanillo (Mexico) – Balboa – Buenaventura – Callao – San Antonio – Hong Kong

OOCL said the new service will commence via the mv. Ever Lissome (ISM) 040E, with an ETA in Hong Kong on August 2.
