CNC Line is set to enhance its role from a slot operator to a vessel provider on CoscoSL’s NP1 service at the end of September, according to DynaLiners. This upgraded service, branded as RNM by CNC, will deploy two 1,700 TEU vessels, maintaining a route that includes Singapore, Subic Bay, and Manila.
Additionally, Sinotrans (SinoLines) has launched a new service, the Shantou Philippines Service 1 (SPS1), utilizing a 700 TEU vessel to connect Shantou, Hong Kong, Shenzhen (Shekou), and Manila, strengthening trade links between China and the Philippines.
Furthermore, intra-Far East/Australasia service network adjustments come from Sinokor and Heung A, who have revised their PSI2 service by omitting the call at the Shenzhen port. The modified rotation now includes Busan, Ulsan, Kwangyang, Shanghai, Jakarta, Ningbo, and return to Busan.
Moreover, Pan Ocean will join CK Line’s KCH service in a collaborative effort starting in October, according to Alphaliner. This joint operation will use two 1,000 TEU vessels, calling at Incheon, Qingdao, Ningbo, Hai Phong, Shenzhen (Shekou), and returning to Incheon, enhancing service frequency and capacity on this route.
