MSC Restructures Port Rotations on Transpacific Pearl and Sentosa Services
Mediterranean Shipping Company has adjusted its Transpacific network by reallocating port calls between the Pearl and Sentosa loops.
Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has updated the port rotations for two of its Transpacific container services, modifying the schedules for its Pearl and Sentosa loops.
The operational restructuring impacts three major ports within the network, specifically Hai Phong in Vietnam, Oakland in the United States, and Xiamen in China.
As part of the realignment, MSC has removed the port calls for Hai Phong and Oakland from the Sentosa service rotation. These calls have been transferred directly to the Pearl loop schedule.
The carrier has revised the service patterns across these loops to adjust terminal coverage between East Asia and the North American West Coast.
