APL, TMM START ASIA/MEXICO SERVICE
APL AND Transportation Maritima Mexicana kicked off their Asia/Mexico
"MAX" weekly container service with the April 27 sailing of the Asia Crown from
Ensenada, on the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
The MAX service calls direct at Ensenada and Manzanillo, Mexico. A
spokesman for APL said that shippers using the service no longer have to
transship cargo to and from Ensenada via Long Beach.
APL said that the service will move cargoes for the maquiladora
factories of Tijuana, Mexicali and Tecate, located near the U.S. border.
