A shipping alliance will begin calling on the Port of Charleston in June, linking the port to countries in Asia and North Africa, the S.C. State Ports Authority announced recently.

For the new service, the New World Alliance and Evergreen will call weekly on Charleston, the last port of call for the outbound service.

The service is the port’s first with a direct call to Vietnam. It also will link Charleston to Hong Kong, China, Singapore and Morocco.
