Hai Phong International Terminal welcomes “mother ship” connecting Hai Phong to California
(VOVWORLD) - The Tan Cang-Hai Phong International Container Terminal (TC-HICT) welcomed the "mother ship" CSCL BOHAI SEA of COSCO on Monday, part of a new service called ACCI that connects Hai Phong city directly to California.
The mother ship is one of 12 vessels providing direct trans-Pacific service. Thanks to ACCI, goods from TC-HICT can go direct to the West Coast of the US, significantly reducing the cost and risk of going via transshipping hubs.
TC-HICT said ACCI will boost trade between Vietnam, India, China, and the US, which has been threatened by the COVID-19 pandemic.
