Oct 6, 2006 (newstodate): With end of 2009 as the projected launch of FastShip's trans-Atlantic cargo services, the trans-Pacific market is next in focus.
-We would seek to enter that market as quickly as possible. Two years after the start of the trans-Atlantic service is entirely feasible. We would seek to accelerate if possible, and we are open to considering licensing as a means of accelerating entry, says Kate Chambers, FastShip spokeswoman.
The trans-Atlantic service will start with one JetShip, taking 10,000 tonnes of cargo at 40 knots speed.
-As for additional ship deliveries, there are several different approaches that can be taken, and everything needs to be finalised with the shipyard and suppliers. A reasonable scenario is six month intervals between deliveries, says Ms Chambers.
