Your Supply Chain Success Across The Pacific
Partnered with UWL, Swire Shipping proudly presents the new Express Service from Vietnam to Seattle. The shuttle service departs fortnightly from Ho Chi Minh City and arrives in Seattle in just 19 days, fastest in the market.
Shortest Overall Transit Time
The sailing from Ho Chi Minh direct to Seattle takes just 19 days. The overall time from the factory in Vietnam to the warehouse in the US can be as little as 22 days. As priority berthing is available at both origin and destination, there won’t be a single second wasted on the journey. Enjoy the shortest transit time in the market with this service.
Guaranteed Allocations
We provide guaranteed contractual equipment and allocations per sailing through formal Block Space Agreements (BSAs). We promise fixed rates, fixed space, and preset equipment allocations. The promise is guaranteed by a dedicated, closed-loop equipment pool with 6,000+ containers and new 2,500+ TEU vessels.
High Predictability
We publish schedules 6 months in advance with a fixed fortnightly service. We also provide 12-24 month contracts with fixed ocean freight base rate without “Premium Surcharges”. Plus, we have a dedicated empty equipment pool in Ho Chi Minh for suppliers. More reliability, less surprises.
