Liverpool welcomes trial COSCO vessel call

The Port of Liverpool welcomed a trial vessel call from COSCO on October 17, which it said demonstrated the strength of its relationships with China.

COSCO’s MV Jork will unload mainly high value Asian goods at the port for fast delivery into the supply chain across the UK.

Cargo is expected to be at its final destination hours after discharge on the Mersey due to the facility’s consistent truck turnaround time of less than 40 minutes, according to the port.
