TOKYO -- Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) today
announces that it will start offering Korea-Vietnam
service through a space-charter agreement
with Heunga-A Shipping Co., Ltd. (Heung-A
Seoul). The move, aimed at meeting increasing
customer demand for the Korea-Vietnam trade,
will take effect in late April.
The service will use three 1,000 TEU size
container ships, calling at Pusan (Wed/Thu),
Hochiminh (Wed/Thu), Bangkok(Sat/Sun), and
Laem Chabang(Sun/Sun).
The new service will start with Merian which
sails from Pusan on April 25.
Along with the current MOL's operating direct
service from Korea to Thailand and other
service network, MOL will be able to offer
customers the fastest and the highest quality
service linking Korea and Intra-Asia. MOL
will grade up the Intra-Asia service to increase
efficiency and meet growing demands in these
trades.
