APL Adds Callao Port Call to South American Service
Container carrier APL has enhanced its West Coast Service (WCS) by adding a new port of call to Callao in Peru, expanding the service’s port coverage in South America West Coast.
“The port of Callao is the chief seaport of Peru, handling a sizeable volume of its ocean-borne cargo," said Efrain Osorio, APL regional director of Latin America & the Caribbean, reported by MANA corresponent.
He further added that With the WCS service calling Callao, we are excited about offering shippers access to and from this major gateway for imports and exports.
The first sailing of the enhanced WCS service started from Balboa on 5 February, calling the ports of Balboa, Callao, Paita and Guayaquil every week.
