As the year comes to a close, I'm reflecting with gratitude on the momentum we've made together in 2025. Thank you for your partnership on the Sun Chief Express this year. Scaling a premium service in today’s market is no small task, and your trust — especially as we transitioned vessel partners — has been a driving force behind its success.

 

Together, we’ve proven that a faster, more predictable Vietnam–U.S. West Coast service has a real place in the market. Your business, your confidence, and your straight talk about what’s working and what needs tightening have shaped this service more than you know.

 

Looking ahead to 2026, here’s what we’re focused on delivering for you:

1. A true weekly Sun Chief Express: This is the biggest leap forward, expanding our service to be a dependable, weekly express service for speed, schedule integrity, and commercial confidence.

    

2. Even tighter transit consistency: We’re sharpening vessel planning, port coordination, and inland handoffs to keep driving predictability where it matters most.

    
3. A stronger end-to-end World Group experience: By tightening alignment across our drayage, warehousing, and supply chain teams, we’re reducing friction at every handoff for smoother origin-to-destination movement.

Sun Chief’s momentum is real, and it’s because of customers like you leaning in with us. I’m grateful for the partnership, the honesty, and the ambition we’ve shared this year.

 

On behalf of the entire UWL team, I wish you a peaceful holiday season and a strong start to the new year.
