Taiwan's Evergreen Line will launch a Belawan-Malaysia feeder service from April 28 along the Malacca Strait.
Evergreen will deploy a 1,164-TEU vessel to the weekly BMS service, calling at Belawan, Penang, Tanjung Pelepas and back to Belawan, 20 kilometres from Medan (pop 2.1 million), the capital of Indonesia's North Sumatra province.
The carrier said the route serves Indonesia and Malaysia which has a large enough population to drive increased imports. Also, these two countries have rich natural resources that encourage increasing exports of raw materials, according to the Shipping Gazette. |
