Carriers partner for Korea/China/India service
Hyundai Merchant Marine is teaming with NYK’s intra-Asia subsidiary Tokyo Senpaku Kaisha (TSK Line) and common feeder carrier Bengal Tiger Line to provide a weekly service connecting the Far East to Chennai on India’s East Coast.
The service will start Aug. 5 from the Korean port of Ulsan and will run with four ships of 1,600 TEUs. The full port rotation of the service will be Ulsan, Busan, Shanghai, Chiwan, Singapore, Port Kelang, Chennai, Port Kelang and back to Ulsan.
“A growing Korea/China-to-India market, with some dedicated base traffic from the automobile industry which has strong assembly links in Chennai’s Tamil Nhadu state, has driven the deployment,” Seoul-based Hyundai Merchant Marine said in a statement.
