Westwood Shipping Lines
SCAC: WWSU
Pacific Northwest liner serving North Asia, now part of Swire Shipping; SCAC WWSU still tracks its cargo
Westwood Shipping Lines grew out of the Weyerhaeuser Steamship Company, which the Washington timber giant set up in the 1920s to move lumber along the coast. As Weyerhaeuser pushed into Asian markets through the 1970s and 1980s, the shipping arm took the Westwood name and reoriented around containerized and breakbulk trade across the Pacific. For decades it ran a weekly rotation out of the Pacific Northwest to Japan, South Korea, and China, built heavily around forest products, agricultural goods, and project cargo rather than the pure boxship model of the big global lines.

About Westwood Shipping Lines
Westwood Shipping Lines grew out of the Weyerhaeuser Steamship Company, which the Washington timber giant set up in the 1920s to move lumber along the coast. As Weyerhaeuser pushed into Asian markets through the 1970s and 1980s, the shipping arm took the Westwood name and reoriented around containerized and breakbulk trade across the Pacific. For decades it ran a weekly rotation out of the Pacific Northwest to Japan, South Korea, and China, built heavily around forest products, agricultural goods, and project cargo rather than the pure boxship model of the big global lines.
Ownership changed hands twice in the modern era. Weyerhaeuser sold the line to J-WeSco, a subsidiary of Japan's Sumitomo Warehouse, in 2011 for about 53 million dollars. Sumitomo later divested to focus on its core logistics business, and Singapore-based Swire Shipping completed its acquisition of Westwood in 2022.
On February 1, 2024, the Westwood brand was folded into Swire Shipping, ending the standalone identity while keeping the transpacific route alive as the Westwood service within Swire's larger network. Several ships kept their green hulls and Westwood names as a nod to the heritage. The SCAC code WWSU remains in use, so containers moving on those lanes still track under Westwood.
Westwood Shipping Lines container tracking FAQ
Is Westwood Shipping Lines still operating under its own name?
Not as a standalone brand. Swire Shipping acquired Westwood in 2022 and merged it into the Swire Shipping brand on February 1, 2024. The transpacific route continues as the Westwood service within Swire's network, and some ships kept their green hulls and Westwood names.
What does the SCAC code WWSU identify?
WWSU is the Standard Carrier Alpha Code for Westwood Shipping Lines. It is still used on bills of lading and container bookings for cargo moving on the former Westwood lanes, even after the brand was absorbed into Swire Shipping.
Where was Westwood Shipping Lines based and what did it carry?
It was headquartered in Puyallup, Washington. The line specialized in transpacific trade between the U.S. Pacific Northwest and North Asia (Japan, South Korea, and China), handling forest products, agricultural commodities, breakbulk, oversized project cargo, and containers.

Is Westwood Shipping Lines container tracking free on Panvaya?

Why isn't my Westwood Shipping Lines container updating?
Westwood Shipping Lines tracking reflects what the carrier and vessel feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as vessel departure or discharge) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Westwood Shipping Lines shipments?
Panvaya combines Westwood Shipping Lines's schedule with live vessel position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
