The multi-year agreement complements Swire Shipping’s continued investment into the North American market, enhancing the capabilities of its recently acquired Westwood liner trades, as well as those of its US West Coast to Pacific Island trade (formerly known as Polynesia Line) and Sun Chief Express Ocean Service. In particular, the use of SSA’s Terminal 18 (T-18), the largest container facility in the Pacific Northwest, will add extensive on-dock rail options, shorten transit times, and improve consistency for Swire Shipping clients with inland connectivity requirements via Seattle. In addition, the use of T-18’s on-dock rail will enable Swire Shipping customers to access a wider range of origins and destinations, such as to and from the Ohio Valley.
The agreement marks the continuation of a longstanding relationship between Swire Shipping and SSA Terminals.
Ben Pike, Chief Operating Officer for Swire Shipping, said: “SSA Terminals has an excellent reputation for safety and performance within our business, and this proven track record is an important consideration as we look to continuously enhance our market leading services in North America. Underpinned by a strong Interior Point Intermodal (IPI) program and the on-dock rail capabilities of T-18, this agreement will also enable us to provide more choices to our customers and help them to build even greater reliability and efficiency into their supply chains.”
Swire Shipping looks forward to supporting both importers and exporters to explain how they can benefit from this service enhancement. More information on Swire Shipping’s trades are available on our website.

"But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and
praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and
expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder
of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it
is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally
encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who
loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but
because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some
great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious
physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to
find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying
consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?"
