Total Terminals International, which operates terminals in Long Beach, Oakland and Seattle, said Monday that Maersk Line will start calling its Oakland terminal with two of its trans-Pacific services in January. The U.S.-flag TP5 service continues on to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, then to Korea and Japan. The TP7 service departs Oakland for Kaohsiung, China and Korea. The new business will add 60,000 lifts per year for TTI Oakland, which is a 120-acre terminal with two berths and four super post-Panamax cranes that can handle ships with 22 containers across.
