Wan Hai Lines will expand its Asia to North America coverage by adding Philadephia port to its current Asia to East Coast of North America AA9 Service.
The Taipei-based ocean carrier said this will be the first direct service from Asia to Philadelphia.
The port rotation of the service will be: Haiphong (Vietnam) - Shekou (China) - Kaohsiung (Taiwan) - Qingdao (China) - Charleston (US) - Philadelphia (US) - New York (US) - Haiphong
The new rotation will be effective from 8 July.
"The AA9 service, which connects Asia with the East Coast of North America will provide clients with more service options," said Wan Hai in a statement.
