First feeder vessel calls at Busan
The Port of Busan last week saw the first feeder container vessel call at its New Port facility.
The South Korean port has been actively trying to attract transshipment cargo to become a feeder hub in the region.
In a statement Monday, the port said the arrival of the 962-TEU 'Star Apex,' operated by Namsung Shipping, could provide the impetus for Busan to gain a larger share of transshipment cargo bound for Japan and China. The vessel loaded cargo unloaded from the MSC Loretta.
