Ocean Network Express  is pleased to announce the launch of the Asia Pacific 1  service, a new route connecting Asia and the U.S. West Coast.

Due to sustained growth of USA import volumes from Asia to the U.S West Coast, ONE is introducing the AP1 service to enhance its service offering to better serve our customer’s needs. Through this strategic initiative, ONE aims to strengthen its foothold in the transpacific market by expanding its coverage to the existing network.

The AP1 service introduces direct routes from Taipei and Shekou to the U.S. West Coast, enhancing our overall service network. The return leg of this service boasts a rapid transit from the U.S. West Coast back to Vietnam, with an expected transit time of 19 days to Haiphong and 22 days to Cai Mep.

Yu Kurimoto, Managing Director of ONE, emphasises the significance of the transpacific market in ONE’s global network, stating, “The introduction of the AP1 service underscores ONE’s unwavering commitment to this crucial trade lane. Complementing our existing product mix, we are dedicated to delivering outstanding, reliable, and holistic services”.
