The liner shipping company TS Lines has joined three of Goto Shipping’s Japan-China services in January.
TS Lines has started taking slots on Goto Shipping’s LKTS, XKTN and SKU services. The partnership between Goto Shipping and TS Lines comes after TS Lines ended a similar Japan-China slot-share agreement with Grand China Shipping on the latter’s Shanghai-Osaka/Kobe EKX service.
Goto Shipping’s LKTS loop employs a single 1,118-TEU vessel to link Lianyungang and Qingdao with Osaka and Kobe; it’s XKTN uses two 2,784-TEU ships running from Xingang, Dalian, and Qingdao to Nagoya, Tokyo and Yokohama; and the SKU offers a single 998-TEU vessel linking Shanghai with Hakata and Moji. — ComPair Data, Kim Williams
