Beginning February 2025, shipping line Ocean Network Express  will add JAXPORT to its East Coast 2 container service, directly connecting the port of Jacksonville with five ports in Asia. The weekly service will utilize a fleet of 13,500 TEU  vessels, all operated by ONE.

The vessels will call the newly modernized SSA Jacksonville Container Terminal at the port’s Blount Island Marine Terminal, which features a 47-foot deepwater shipping channel.

“We are pleased to add Jacksonville, Florida, as an enhancement to our East Coast 2 (EC2) service,” said ONE North America. “By adding JAXPORT to our rotation, we are strengthening our connections between East Asia and North America while enhancing the options available to our customers.
