Maersk to charter transpacific slots to Westwood
The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission has authorized Danish mega-carrier Maersk Line to charter space between ports in Washington State and Japan and Korea to Tacoma, Wash.-based Westwood Shipping Lines, the commercial marine subsidiary of integrated forest products company Weyerhaeuser Co.
According to ComPair Data, the global liner-shipping database at https://www.compairdata.com , Maersk Line’s only service calling directly between the two regions is its weekly TP2/FMS service. Westwood already operates two fortnightly services connecting the Washington ports of Seattle and Longview with Japan and Korea.
