APL’s 13,764gt/2001 built APL Guam made her maiden call at her namesake port of Guam on New Year’s Day, marking the maiden inbound shipment via APL’s Guam Saipan Express (GSX) service. Designed primarily to give Guam and Saipan shippers an alternative option for shipments from the U.S. mainland to these markets and vice versa, the GSX service connects with APL’s weekly U.S. flagged Eagle Express service (EX1) in both Yokohama, Japan and Busan, South Korea.
