FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 24, 2010
Northern Asia Service Begins at Port of Charleston
Charleston, SC – The first ship call in a new, weekly service between
Charleston and Northern Asia called the Port of Charleston today. The
ANGELES reached Charleston Harbor early Thursday morning for her inaugural
call and worked at the Wando Welch Terminal.
The new service means jobs at the port in a variety of sectors – and
highlights the state’s strong export potential to markets in Asia.
Charleston is the last U.S. port outbound on CSAV’s new America Express
Service, or AMEX. CSAV (Compañía Sud Americana de Vapores) of Chile is the
largest ocean carrier in Latin America and, founded in 1872, is also one of
the oldest shipping companies in the world.
The new weekly service is bringing 52 additional ship calls annually,
supporting jobs across the harbor, on the dock, and in the supply chain,
while linking South Carolina-based shippers directly to markets across
Northern China and South Korea. Transshipment in the Caribbean provides
additional market access across Central and South America.
The service features port calls in Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Xingang,
China; Busan, South Korea; Kingston, Jamaica; Caucedo, Dominican Republic
and Cartagena, Colombia.

A LOW PRESSURE AREA CENTERED BETWEEN THE NORTHEAST COAST OF HONDURAS
AND GRAND CAYMAN CONTINUES TO SHOW SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION. SHOWER
ACTIVITY HAS BECOME A LITTLE MORE CONCENTRATED THIS MORNING...AND

INVESTIGATE THIS DISTURBANCE LATER TODAY TO DETERMINE IF A TROPICAL
CYCLONE HAS FORMED.
A LARGE BUT DISORGANIZED AREA OF CLOUDINESS AND SHOWERS CENTERED

TROPICAL WAVE INTERACTING WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH. THIS ACTIVITY
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARD THE NORTHWEST AND ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT...IF ANY...WILL BE SLOW TO OCCUR. THERE IS A LOW
CHANCE...10 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
