UASC and CSCL to launch three new transpacific services
Kuwait: United Arab Shipping Company (UASC) and China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) are teaming up to launch three new transpacific services covering both Pacific South West (PSW) and Pacific North West (PNW).

UASC will add a pair of 4,250 teu containerships to CSCL's existing Asia to PNW service from mid-May, marketing this service as AWN1.

CSCL and UASC will also introduce a joint South China to PSW service where each of the partners will deploy three 4,250 teu container vessels. UASC will market this service as AWS1

Another participation for UASC will be on the CSCL existing Central & North China and Korea to PSW service. UASC will market this service as AWS2.
UASC believed it will be in a position to meet its customers' requirements for an extensive geographical coverage of the Asian regions as well as of the US West Coast, including inland points in the US.

“UASC will also offer connectivity to/from the Middle East through transhipment in Asia,” the company stated.
