Korea Line plans two Asia-USWC services in April
KOREAN Line Corp., a new container shipping line, is set to commence two transpacific services in April 2017 that will link Chinese and Korean ports to the US west coast, according to Alphaliner.
The move comes after the carrier successfully bid US$31.4 million for the Asia-US business of bankrupt Hanjin Shipping, reported Seatrade Maritime News.
Deploying five 4,200 TEU vessels, the first loop will call: Ningbo, Shanghai, Long Beach, Busan, Kwangyang, and returning to Ningbo.
The port rotation of the second service that will be operated with six 6,500 TEU box ships is: Xiamen, Shekou, Yantian, Busan, Long Beach, Busan, and returning to Xiamen. However, both services are subjected to further amendment.
"Apart from the transpacific strings, Korea Line is also expected to launch several intra-Asia services next year will focus on the Korea to West India and Southeast Asia markets," Alphaliner was cited as saying.
