COSCO's 868-TEU Jerk called at Liverpool after a stop in Rotterdam before returning to China with UK exports. In Liverpool it unloaded high-value Asian goods, reported American Shipper.
The vessel call from Cosco, Asia's largest shipping line and the third largest globally, marks an important milestone forPeel Ports, which will look to evolve the trial into a permanent call, the port said.
"The arrival of the Jerk at Liverpool is positive news for the port and is part of the approach we've taken to the Asian market in recent years," said Peel Ports CEO Mark Whitworth.
"Our relationship with China has been incredibly strong for a number of years now, and the faith shown by Cocoon the capabilities and infrastructure of Liverpool shows how global perceptions of the UK's shipping ecosystem are starting to shift," he said.
The Port of Liverpool has reported 8.7 per cent growth in the container volume over the past 12 months. Peel Ports recently welcomed China Merchant Marine to Liverpool and will receive a state-sponsored visit from the Jiangsu Province's commerce department.
Peel Ports said it already has a strong relationship with Shanghai crane manufacturer ZPMC, the firm which supplied five ship-to-shore cranes and Crags for the Liverpool2 container terminal.
A delegation from Peel Ports is currently in China to discuss phase two of Liverpool2's development as it continues to try to attract the world's biggest shipping lines.
