Maersk Line deploys six containerships on the new service, which calls at Japan's Yokohama, China's Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, South Korea's Pyeongtaek, Panama's Balboa, Panama City, Dominica's Manzanillo and Jamaica's Kingston.
While the new Asia-Europe service is the second European service of Maersk in Tianjin Port. Port rotation for the service is: Xingang, Dalian, Qingdao, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Malaga, Algeciras, Xiamen and Xingang.
Besides the two European service and the one South American service, Maersk also runs a Black Sea service, an America west coast service and a Middle East and Persian Gulf service into Tianjin.
