ITS already handles Hamburg Sud's weekly service to South America's west coast and fortnightly service to the Pacific Islands.

Starting June 15, with the port call of the Hansa Rendsburg of the Pacific Southwest to Australia/New Zealand service, all Hamburg Sud services will call ITS. The first Pacific Northwest string vessel of the Australia/NZ service to call ITS will be the Kapitan Afanasyev on June 20.

The statement explained that the consolidation gives Hamburg Sud customers a single terminal location, thereby streamlining the delivery and pick-up of cargoes in the southern California region.
