U.S. LINES TRANSPAC SERVICE EXPANDS

LONG BEACH - Two more U.S. Line's 1,700-TEU container ships have made their first calls at Total Terminals International's Pier T facility on Terminal Island at the Port of Long Beach.

The Eagle 1 made its maiden call on January 28, and the Hansa Narvik called on its maiden voyage on February 4.

Taking on the name of one of the older names in the ocean carrier industry, U.S. Lines launched its service with the Masovia making its first call at the TTI terminal in mid-January.

Headquartered in nearby Santa Ana, U.S. Lines is the newest entrant in the transpacific trade offering fixed-day weekly service with calls in southern China, Hong Kong, and Long Beach.
