en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 20, at the automated terminal of Shandong Port Qingdao Port, the 259-meter-long vessel "Bin Chun" began its maiden voyage operations. It is set to load 1,643 TEUs of marketable export goods, including aluminum can body stock, towels, storage boxes, and plastic tableware, for a direct voyage to key ports on the U.S. West Coast such as Los Angeles. This marks the official opening and regular operation of a new route to the U.S. West Coast. This is the 13th foreign trade route and the 2nd U.S.-bound route opened by Qingdao Port this year.

It is understood that the route operates on a weekly service, with Qingdao Port as a fixed port of call. The berthing window is from 22:00 on Monday to 12:00 on Wednesday. The route features a direct point-to-point connection, significantly reducing transshipment links. It further optimizes Qingdao Port's trans-Pacific route network, enhances its direct service capability to the U.S. West Coast, and provides more stable space resources and more efficient logistics channels for import and export enterprises in its hinterland, with an average weekly export volume maintained at 1,600 TEUs.

Since the beginning of this year, Qingdao Port has continuously accelerated the pace of route expansion. The 13 newly added foreign trade routes cover multiple key economic and trade regions, including Southeast Asia, Africa, and the United States. The total number of foreign trade routes is approaching 240, connecting with over 700 ports in more than 180 countries and regions worldwide.
