HMM Transpacific FAQ

What is the HMM transpacific service from China?

HMM operates fixed-day weekly strings linking North and Central China to the US and Canada — including Pacific Southwest and Pacific Northwest loops with direct calls at Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland and Vancouver. STU Supply Chain books HMM space at contract rates with guaranteed weekly cutoffs.

How long does HMM take from China to the US West Coast?

Typical port-to-port transit is 12–16 days from Qingdao/Shanghai to Los Angeles or Long Beach, and about 15–20 days to the Pacific Northwest. Add roughly 5–10 days on top for East Coast all-water services via Panama. We confirm the exact sailing schedule per booking.

Can you book HMM for LCL shipments, or only FCL?

Both. FCL is booked directly with HMM; for LCL we consolidate your cargo at our China warehouse into weekly consolidation boxes riding HMM and other premium carriers, so small shippers enjoy big-carrier schedules.

What are the advantages of booking HMM through STU Supply Chain?

Contract rates that hold during market spikes, priority space on busy strings, weekly fixed cutoffs from Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen, and one team handling booking, VGM, ISF/AMS and destination coordination end to end.

Does HMM connect China to Latin America as well?

Yes — through HMM's Asia–Latin America services and feeder connections via hub ports, covering Mexico, Panama, the Caribbean and South America's west coast. Ask us for the current rotation and transit times for your destination port.
