SWIRE Shipping will deploy 2,750-TEU newbuilds to support the newly upgraded fixed-day
fortnightly service, connecting North Asia with Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Australia, reports London's Ship Technology.
The
newly upgraded North Asia Express (NAX) service will start
from November to offer customers improved convenience and increased frequency
to their key markets.
Customers
are expected to have a nine-day transit time from Hong Kong to Lae on the north
coast of PNG. Apart from these ships, Swire will also deploy the 30,192-gross
tonne MV Lae Chief, which will be delivered this month.
The
vessel features 45 tonne cranes that can carry all cargo types, including
breakbulk, out of gauge and reefers.
Said
Swire general manager Jeremy Sutton: "This service upgrade will enable
customers to improve supply chain efficiency and inventory management from both
an import and export perspective."
The
NAX service, which was launched in July 2015, seeks to provide a direct link
between North Asia, Townsville and Lae in Papua New Guinea.
