The establishment of the new service will play a significant role in congestion relief, according to a statement. Through the Sentosa service, cargo owners could avoid sending cargo through Southern California ports and importers can bypass the region’s traffic, given the fact that over 60 ships a day awaiting outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

Maritime Director at the Port of Oakland, Bryan Brandes expressed his enthusiasm for the launch of the new service, saying “We’re excited to welcome MSC’s service because Southeast Asia is an important, growing market.”

According to the US port, the new product is the fourth first-call service introduced at Oakland this year. MSC’s new Sentosa service follows first-calls introduced in Oakland this year by CMA CGM, Matson and Wan Hai Lines.

First-calls are where ships make their initial US stop after sailing from Asia, explained the Port of Oakland in its announcement.

Imports make up 55% of Oakland’s loaded container volume in 2021, as carriers have introduced new services to meet soaring consumer demand in the US for overseas products. Traditionally, the Californian port reports a 50-50 split between imports and exports.
