On March 21, 2023 (Tuesday), the first ship "APL Qingdao" (total length: approximately 354m, ship width: approximately 46m, maximum loading: 10,106TEU) on the North American East Coast route operated by CMA CGM (France) entered Honmoku Pied D4 Container Terminal at Yokohama Port for the first time.
This will be the first direct service from Japan to the east coast of North America for the first time in about two years.
Yokohama Port is actively promoting the maintenance and expansion of key routes in order to strengthen the competitiveness of international container strategic ports, and we expect that the revival of export routes to the east coast of North America will strengthen the hub function of Yokohama Port in Asia and ensure smooth logistics for shippers in Japan.
(Note) TEU: Number of containers converted at 20 feet
