Intra-Asia carrier T.S. Lines has joined a shuttle between Japan and Shanghai operated by Grand China Shipping, according to research from American Shipper affiliate ComPair Data.
The carrier has joined the EKX service, which operates with one vessel by Grand China, on a rotation of Shanghai, Osaka, Kobe and Shanghai.
According to ComPair Data, T.S. Lines left the service in March, when Grand China joined with RCL, another intra-Asia carrier, to make the EKX a Shanghai/Southeast Asia service, under the RBC-EKX moniker.
RCL then left the EKX leg of the service, with T.S. Lines rejoining that loop this month. T.S. Line now participates in eight weekly shuttles between Shanghai and Japan.
