COSCO, YANGMING, "K" LINE TO ADD NINGBO PACIFIC CALL

   COSCO Container Lines, the liner shipping arm of China Ocean Shipping Co., said that it will add a direct call at Ningbo to its transpacific service.
   COSCO said that the additional Chinese call will be part of a revised rotation of its "CES China Southeast" transpacific loop, operated within a global alliance with Yangming Marine Transport and "K" Line. The CES service calls weekly at Long Beach and Oakland in the U.S.
   It isn’t known when calls at the port of Ningbo will commence.
   Ningbo, located in Zhejiang province, near Shanghai, is generally served by transshipment by transpacific carriers. The only direct service between Ningbo and North America at present is a service operated by CMA CGM, according to ComPairData, the global shipping database on the Internet at https://www.compairdata.com.
