October 3 - Jaxport has welcomed Höegh Autoliners' pure care and truck carrier (PCTC), Höegh Target, to its Blount Island Marine Terminal.

The 8,500 ceu (car equivalent capacity) post-Panamax vessel arrived at the US port for the first time through the newly expanded Panama Canal locks.

Höegh Target, which is the first in a series of six new PCTCs the shipping line is adding to its fleet, was named at a ceremony in China in June 2015.
