Pacific International Lines (PIL), in collaboration with Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (K Line) and Wai Han Lines, will introduce a new China Transpacific 3 (TP3) service from 10 May 2015 with six container vessels.

The six boxships on the new TP3 will have sizes ranging from 5,500 teu to 6,000 teu, and the trade will commence from China’s Qingdao port, also covering Shanghai, Xiamen and Long Beach.
