Changes to our Transatlantic services

We would like to update you on a number of changes that are about to take place on our transatlantic services to Canada and the U.S.A.

Firstly, we are currently swapping our tonnage operating on our Canadian routes 1 and 2 (GEX1 & GEX2). This is to cater for growing demand from the North Continent and Scan Baltic regions.

As such, the mother vessel Ottawa Express (TEX431) will be by-passing Southampton on 9^th Oct. 2007. Please note, OOCL will be accepting cargo for this position out of Southampton as usual and will feeder containers across to Antwerp on our feeder vessel WMS Harlingen. Cut-offs for connection with the Ottawa Express in Antwerp will be 4^th October 2007.

Our Route 3 calling at Liverpool remains unchanged.

Secondly, our Mexican service (GMX) and US Gulf service (GAX) will be calling the port of Tilbury for the foreseeable future.

At time of writing, this change is scheduled to become effective on:

• GMX with the Heidelberg Express (HEX022) expected to arrive in Tilbury on 29^th Oct.
• GAX with the Washington Express (WSX001) expected to arrive in Tilbury on 5^th Oct.

Transit times and vessel cut-offs are not affected by this switch.

Simultaneously, our Charleston call will be re-instated on our ATX service effective from mother vessel Oslo Express (OLX002), expected to arrive in Southampton on Oct. 6th and departs Oct. 7^th; with expected time of arrival at Charleston Oct. 19^th.

For further information relating to these changes, please contact our local branch offices or your OOCL Area Sales Manager.
