There are several current shipping line services that utilize several major regions, most notably linking Asia
with North America before onward sailing to North Europe or the Mediterranean. For the purposes of this
assessment, these strings have been referred to as Round-the-Word (RTW) or Multi-Region, as Table 3.22
identifies.
The Atlantic port region represents an integral part of all schedules, with calls made on both eastbound and
westbound legs of the services. This enables Asian cargo to be discharged at US ports, before US goods
bound for North Europe/Mediterranean can be loaded, with the reverse happening on the return leg.
With this type of service covering a greater nautical distance than other trading routes previously identified,
it means that there is a need to utilize more ships to maintain a weekly frequency.
On almost all schedules, the ocean carriers are adopting calls in both the North and South Atlantic regions,
with NYNJ, Norfolk, Charleston and Savannah the preferred port partners though it is noticeable that the
first-in or last-outbound port of call is often varied on eastbound and westbound legs of the service.
This further reflects the need to maintain calls in both regions but means that competition between ports
situated in that area, such as Charleston and Savannah, is maintained to attract the liner operator’s calls, as
the ocean carrier looks to maintain leverage and secure more competitive costs and terms for undertaking
port calls.
