APL said it is offering a “more optimal solution” for speedier pickup and transportation of EXX shipments in which it will deploy a fully wheeled operation at GGS supported by a chassis pool, container yard and truck in-gate lanes.
“APL’s enhanced EXX service reflects our desire to further accelerate our customers’ speed to market and take last-mile delivery of their U.S. West Coast-bound cargoes to the next level. In securing resources at GGS for the sole benefit of EXX shipments, we reduce the complexity and additional transit time incurred when transferring these cargoes to an off-dock facility,” said Jesper Stenbak, senior vice president of APL’s transpacific trade.
EXX shipments will be discharged from the ship directly to a dedicated fleet of new, state-of-the-art and GPS-enabled chassis equipment. To further speed up the collection of these cargoes, separate terminal in-gate lanes will be reserved to allow a more efficient movement of trucks that pick up the EXX cargoes, APL said.
Calling the ports of Ningbo, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Dutch Harbour, Yokohama and Busan, the first sailing of the EXX service will depart Ningbo on Aug. 2 and Shanghai on Aug. 3 and arrive in Los Angeles on Aug. 14.
