TOKYO-Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President: Koichi Muto) today announced upgrade of its CX1 feeder service between Panama and Manaus and the beginning of independent operation on the route.

The move will provide additional space on this rapidly growing trade with four 1,700 TEU ships and stabilize the schedule to boost service quality.

Calling ports and transit times remain unchanged from the existing service.

The expanded feeder capacity will enable MOL to accommodate additional peak season demand.

Konishi.
