CHINA SHIPPING GROUP PLANS PACIFIC ENTRY

   China Shipping Group, the new expansionist Chinese carrier, plans to enter the transpacific next year.
    An executive of China Shipping (Hong Kong) Agency said that plans to launch an Asia/U.S. service have been postponed until next year.
China Shipping Group’s transpacific debut has been rumoured for several weeks, as the carrier continues to expand its deep-sea services.
    The Shanghai-based carrier entered the Asia/Australia trade in March and the Asia-Europe trade in April and added a second weekly Asia-Europe loop in early August.
