MOL improves Intra-Asia service network
MOL Liner Ltd. (MOL) today announced the enhancement of their Intra-Asia service network with new rotations of the “CBW” (West Japan Korea Thailand Service) and ”CVT” (China Vietnam Thailand Service) as well as a new Manila feeder service named “MSS” (Manila South Shuttle). The enhancement will provide a more competitive and stable product to MOL’s customers, the company said in its press release.
The new feeder service, “MSS”, which will be operated by MOL and Regional Container Lines (“RCL”), will contribute directly to the schedule enhancement of the “CBW” and “CVT” by omitting Manila. The new service will run between Laem Chabang – Manila – Cai Mep.
The updated “CBW” will add a direct call at Cai Mep on the Southbound rotation to cater to the service needs from/to the port of Cai Mep, strengthening MOL’s service network to/from Manila and Cai Mep, as well as their transshipment arrangement at Cai Mep.
