Swire Shipping to introduce new service between Singapore and Australia

Swire Shipping will operate a new direct service connecting Singapore and North West Australia from June, carrying containerised, out-of-gauge and breakbulk cargo.

The service is made up of two loops: the first loop will serve Singapore, Darwin, Port Hedland and operate with a transit time of 12 days from Singapore to Port Hedland; the second loop will operate from Singapore to Dampier, with a transit time of nine days.

It is hoped that the direct connections will enable Swire Shipping’s customers in the region to better plan their inventory and manage their supply chains more efficiently.
