Cosco launches Shantou-Southeast Asia service

As well as the Yang Jian He, Cosco Container Lines employs two other vessels on the service, the Sheng He and the Hu Tuo He. The service will call at SICT every Thursday, with a port rotation of Shantou, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh, Singapore, Jakarta, Singapore, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong and Shantou.

“The trade lanes between Shantou and Southeast Asia are further strengthened by this new service at SICT. It provides shippers with time and cost savings by removing the need for further transhipment at other ports. SICT now also provides other intra-Asia shipping routes to Japan, Korea and Manila, and we are committed to the development of Shantou,” said David Wu, SICT’s general manager.
