Cosco has introduced an express ocean service designed to expedite the transportation of Ecuadorean shrimp and bananas to China. The service, known as WSA5, commenced with the vessel Xin Ou Zhou Guayaquil, which set sail on Friday. This new route will make port calls at Chancay in Peru before proceeding to Shanghai, ensuring that goods on board can reach their destination in approximately 27 days, a significant improvement over the 35 to 55 days required by alternative services.
In summary, Cosco’s launch of the WSA5 service represents a notable enhancement in the efficiency of shipping perishable goods from Ecuador to China. By reducing transit times from previous shipping routes, the company positions itself as a leader in the logistics of fresh produce. This move is expected to have positive repercussions for both exporters in Ecuador and consumers in China.
