MOL leaves RCL for Bien Dong between Vietnam/Hong Kong
Tokyo-based Mitsui O.S.K. Lines has started taking slots from Vietnam’s state-owned Bien Dong Shipping Co. on a weekly shuttle service between Haiphong and Hong Kong, which the Japanese carrier is marketing as Vietnam Hong Kong New Loop 3 (VH3).
MOL started taking space on the Bien Dong service Saturday. Initially, MOL only has slots from the North Vietnam port to Hong Kong, but will offer space on the return voyage from May, when it will end its current slot charter arrangement on Regional Container Line’s RSK loop, which covers the same ports.
MOL said the change of services would allow it to offer better relay connections from the Hong Kong HIT terminal to and from ports in Japan.
