NEW WORLD ALLIANCE REVISES PS3 PACIFIC SERVICE

   The New World Alliance of APL, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines and Hyundai Merchant Marine has revised the itinerary of its "PS3" Pacific Southwest service, effective May 23.
   The weekly transpacific service will no longer call at the Chinese port
of Qingdao, which will be served by the Guam China Express service, the
alliance’s recently announced additional transpacific loop.
   The revised itinerary of the PS3 loop is Los Angeles, Oakland, Tokyo,
Nagoya, Shanghai, Kobe, Tokyo and Los Angeles.
   The new Guam China Express service will call at Los Angeles, Oakland,
Guam, Naha, Qingdao, Busan, Hakata, Nagoya, Yokohama and Los Angeles.
   Carriers of the alliance said that they will allocate more space to
Chinese shipments following the changes.
   The alliance now operates eight weekly sailings between Asia and the
U.S. West Coast, plus an all-water weekly service between Asia and the U.S. East Coast through the Panama Canal.
