OOCL to replace China/Japan service
Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Line will Oct. 18 replace its weekly Setouchi-Haikou Express (SHX) with the KTX 4 loop, linking mainland China with Japan and Korea.
The KTX 4 service will call Shekou, Hong Kong, Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, Hibiki, Busan, Kaohsiung, Hong Kong and back to Shekou.
The SHX had called Kaohsiung, Hong Kong, Osaka, Shibushi, Kokura, Hiroshima and Kaohsiung.
“The faster ships deployed will enable a reliable vessel schedule, offering direct links and competitive transit times between Kansai/Busan, and Taiwan, South China and Hong Kong,” OOCL said in a statement.
