Indonesia’s leading container terminal in oceangoing trade – Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) – opens a new service through Gold Star Line Shipping. The new service called ZXB will serve Asia – America trade.
The service rotation includes Laem Chabang – Cai Mep – Haiphong – Yantian – Kaohsiung – Kingston – Baltimore – Norfolk – New York – Boston – Jakarta. This route will be the choice of customers who will export and import goods with the Asia – America route.
Commending this new service, JICT Operation Director P Thavaneswaran explained that this new service indicates that the national economy is recovering and proves the shipping company’s great trust to JICT. “It has become our commitment to continue to provide the best terminal experience to service users,” he said on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.
The ZXB service maiden voyage to JICT was served by a Hong Kong Flagged vessel MV. Seaspan Emerald. This 294 meter long ship carries 2,000 export-import containers which are served at JICT’s northern pier. ZXB itself is the fastest service to Baltimore and Boston from Jakarta. The MV Seaspan Emerald arrived at the JICT pier on Sunday (26/2/2023).
The Maiden Voyage ceremony was also attended by JICT Director of Operations P Thavaneswaran, Director of Gold Star Line Indonesia Paul Sujit, Country Manager of Gold Star Line Prakash Rajagopala, Country Sales Manager of Gold Star Line Henry Jaya, Master MV Seaspan Emerald Joseph Shergio Stanley, and the JICT Commercial Team.
“After MV Seaspan Emerald, other ZXB service ships will start to dock at JICT on a weekly basis,” said Thavaneswaran.
