"It is important for USL, in breaking into the Australian market, to have a secure terminal relationship in place that will deliver surety of ship turnaround and cargo flows," he says. "We aim to create relationships with shippers and customer service standards that are second to none, and if we wish to deliver these qualities in the Australian marketplace we need to establish integrity in our sailing schedule.
"Terminal operation is a key element in achieving those standards, so we are very pleased to have Patrick on board as we begin to make a name for ourselves in Australia."
USL is expanding its current Pacific services by introducing new fixed-day independent southbound sailings directly between Los Angeles and Australia/New Zealand, new westbound services from New Zealand to Australia, and new export services from Australia to Hong Kong/South China and North America. |
