Virginia port scores last call on Asia route

The second largest container company in the world, Mediterranean Shipping Company, will make Virginia’s Hampton Roads port the last stop out, as well as an inbound destination in its service connecting the East Coast with Asia via the Suez Canal.

The change is effective in early February.

The shipping line’s inbound “Golden Gate Service” calls at New York/New Jersey first, then Hampton Roads, Baltimore and Savannah. Ships then go to Freeport in the Bahamas, back to Charleston and then to Hampton Roads again, the last stop before heading back toward the Suez Canal, according to the Virginia Port Authority.
