Hanjin Shipping, Heung-A Shipping to provide N China-Indonesia service
POSTED: 11:29 a.m. EDT, May 30,2007
Hanjin Shipping and Heung-A Shipping will jointly launch a new service from June 13 serving ports in north China and Indonesia.
The route, called NIS (North China Indonesia Service), will deploy four 1,200-TEU containerships in the joint operation of the two lines.
The NIS route is expected to improve service to Seoul and its outlying areas to service Europe and meet demands for cargoes from the same area by including Incheon and Pyeongtaek. It is also expected that the route will also meet shipping demands of China, Korea and Indonesia by linking Tianjin and Qingdao, which lead the continuous growth in trade between China and other nations in southeast Asia.
The two companies plan to co-operate more closely to upgrade the quality of customer service by seeking ways to develop various service routes to cope with the market circumstances.
The NIS port rotation will be: Tianjin, Qingdao, Busan, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Pyeongtaek-Incheon and back to Tianjin. There will be a call at Pyeongtaek every other week. |
