MSC strengthens Asia service network

MSC has decided to update its Asia service network by enhancing two existing services and launching a new one.

The Swiss/Italian ocean carrier announced the upgrade of the existing Bengal service aiming to establish direct connections between China and Bangladesh. The updated Bengal service will feature a transit time of 10 days from Shanghai to Chattogram, according to the company’s statement.

Port Rotation: Qingdao (China) – Ningbo (China) – Shanghai (China) – Chattogram (Bangladesh) – Singapore – Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia) – Qingdao

Additionally, MSC wants to improve the Kaguya service to benefit long-haul cargo to and from Japan with a connection via the port of Busan in South Korea.

Furthermore, the world’s largest box line will launch a new standalone service, named Saola, offering direct connections between Central China and Vietnam. The port rotation of the Saola service will be as follows:

Shanghai (China) – Ningbo (China) – Haiphong (Vietnam) – Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) – Vung Tau (Vietnam) – Shanghai
