Nine 35,000-tonne container vessels operated by Wan Hai Lines will serve the route, passing major ports of call in several countries, including Mexico, Panama, Columbia and Ecuador, according to a company representative.

万海航运营的9艘3.5万吨级集装箱船将为该航线服务，途经墨西哥、巴拿马、哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔等多个国家的主要停靠港。

The representative said the new route will cut transportation times by a third. "Commodities, particularly frozen seafood, fruit and vegetables from South America, will be transported to Tianjin in 25 days."

这位代表说，新路线将使运输时间减少三分之一。“商品，特别是来自南美的冷冻海鲜、水果和蔬菜，将在25天后运往天津。”

Consumers in north China will benefit from the new route, especially those living in Beijing and Hebei Province.

To facilitate the launch of the new route, authorities at the Tianjin Port have worked with the local maritime, border inspection and customs administrations to improve efficiency in coordination, logistics and customs clearance procedures, according to sources with Tianjin Port Group.

据天津港集团消息人士透露，为了促进新航线的开通，天津港当局已与当地海事、边检和海关部门合作，提高协调、物流和清关程序的效率。
