Hanjin Shipping launches new China-East Mediterranean service
Hanjin Shipping will add a new service to the China-East Mediterranean trade by swapping space with Yang Ming Line, a CKYH alliance member, in May 2007.
Beginning on May 17th with the departure of Jing Po He from Shanghai, the new Greece & Israel Express (GIX) service will deploy seven 3,000 TEU vessels.
The port rotation for the new service is: Shanghai > Ningbo > Hong Kong > Shekou > Singapore > Ashdod > Piraeus > Thessaloniki > Singapore > Hong Kong > Shanghai.
The new direct link between China and East Mediterranean will stabilise the company’s sales outpost in the Israel and Greece regions, where transport volumes are rapidly increasing.
In addition, the GIX service is expected to diversify both the previous Mediterranean services and Asia-Mediterranean services and improve competitive strength in these services.
