THE arrival of the 9,500 TEU CMA CGM operated Pusan C at the Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal operated by Ports America has marked the largest containership call at the port of New Orleans in its history.
"The deployment of larger vessels highlights our strong growth in container volumes and the success of the PEX 3 service connecting America's heartland to global markets like Asia," port of New Orleans president Brandy Christian was quoted as saying in a report by AJOT.
"Gulf Coast container volumes are predicted to continue to rise and we look forward to capturing the growth opportunities with our ocean carrier partners like CMA CGM."
The Pusan C is part of the carrier's PEX 3 service, a weekly service to Asia from the port of New Orleans, which is part of the Ocean Alliance that brings together CMA CGM, OOCL, Evergreen and Cosco. The ports of call are: Singapore, Vung Tau, Hong Kong, Shekou, Ningbo, Shanghai and Busan.
The port registered a 20 per cent growth in containerised cargo volumes in the first three months of fiscal year 2019 over 2018 (July-September) driven by overall export growth as well as increased import traffic.
