TCC expand Great Dragon service with Ningbo call

THE Containership Company (TCC) has announced that it will add Ningbo to its port rotation on its Great Dragon service from Taicang to Los Angeles beginning September 10, according to a statement issued by the company this week.

TCC chief operating officer, Franck Kayser, said the service expansion was a response to customer demand for more Chinese port calls.

"Ever since we started our first service out of Taicang our customers have repeatedly asked us to expand our no-frills service concept to other Chinese ports," he said.

The carrier will first call Ningbo on September 10 with the 2,900 TEU vessel, the Nanjing Dragon.

The service will offer a transit time of 17 days to Los Angeles, TCC said.

"Our customers simply want equipment to be available, and then have it moved from A to B. This is what we are providing them from Taicang, and this is what we will provide from Ningbo," Mr Kayser said.
