"We're ecstatic to see her in the Port of Halifax," says Karen Oldfield, President and CEO, Halifax Port Authority. "This is a great opportunity for us and an indication that Halifax is becoming known as a smart gateway for Asian trade to enter North America. We're looking forward to growing our relationship with China Shipping, says Oldfield."
Presentations to the Captain were made onboard the vessel by representatives from the Halifax Port Authority, Halterm Ltd., Eastern Canada Towing Limited and Furncan Redford. The new three-year service agreement was signed by Halterm Limited and China Shipping Container Lines in August 2005.
