Maersk Line to change Intra-Asia loop    Maersk Line said it will add larger and faster ships as well as new calls in Malaysia and Japan to its Intra-Asia IA-2 service.
   Three ships of about 2,000 TEUs will be phased into the service at the end of November, when calls at Tanjung Pelepas and Tokyo will replace stops at Nagoya.
   The revised port rotation of the IA-2 will be Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe, Kaohsiung, Tanjung Pelepas, Laem Chabang, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, and back to Tokyo.
   “The upgraded IA-2 service will provide pre-carriage space for the global Maersk Line network and allow for growth in the South East Asian and Japanese market, “Maersk Line said in a statement.
