Panstar to help Pyeongtaek’s container push

South Korean ro-ro ferry operator PanstarLine.com on 12 October signed an agreement with Pyeongtaek municipal authorities to maintain a regular container shipping route linking Pyeongtaek port with Japan.

Since 16 September, Panstarline.com has been operating a container and passenger shipping service between Pyeongtaek and Osaka and Nagoya, using the ro-ro ferry Panstar Genie, which has 103 TEU of container capacity. This came after Panstarline.com signed an agreement with the Pyeongtaek Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 26 July to boost seaborne trade between Pyeongtaek and Japan.

Pyeongtaek officials are hoping to increase container volumes through the port, which primarily handles vehicles and general cargoes, and Panstarline.com’s management said that the company is exploring launching more services linking the port with other Japanese cities. Pyeongtaek officials noted that they will provide administrative and financial support to Panstarline.com in this respect.
