NSB’s PSX Service includes five ships – MS/MV HANJIN BOSTON, MS/MV HANJIN BALTIMORE, MS/MV HANJIN DALLAS, MS/MV HANJIN MIAMI, and MS/MV HANJIN YANTIAN.
This service is now sailing slower to try to conserve fuel and the round trip is now approximately 42 days.
Itinerary and approximately schedule follows:

Port                   Days

Long Beach    -    0
Oakland         -    3
Seattle           -    5
Pusan            -  19
Yantian          -  23
Kaohsiung      -  25
Shanghai        -  27
Kwangyang    -  29
Pusan            -  31
Long Beach   -  42

These voyages are quite reasonably priced starting from EURO 85 per day plus port charges/fees and deviation insurance.

Warning to Canadians – Immigration in Seattle has been known to demand a visa as well as a passport from Canadians even though it is not really required so don’t be surprised if you are asked to obtain a visa if sailing to/from west coast US ports.
