CNC has launched its new NT8 service, strengthening direct links between North and South China and Thailand.
NT8 focuses on a streamlined port rotation. It targets key Chinese ports to improve schedule reliability and planning certainty.
The service marks CNC’s first dedicated North China–Thailand loop. It directly connects Xingang, Dalian, Qingdao and Shekou with Laem Chabang.
NT8 offers faster transit times and increased capacity. It supports growing demand to Thailand with improved space availability.
The service also increases sailing frequency from Laem Chabang to South China. Shippers gain more options and greater flexibility.
Direct routing to North China removes the need for transshipment. This cuts delays and improves cargo flow.
Port rotation:
Xingang – Dalian – Qingdao – Hong Kong – Shekou – Laem Chabang – Hong Kong – Nansha – Xingang
The first sailing will be operated by CMA CGM QUELIMANE, voyage 0N800S1NC, with arrival at Xingang on 16 January 2026.
With NT8, CNC continues to expand reliable and efficient intra-Asia connectivity.
