Tokyo: "K" Line, Yang Ming, China Shipping and Zim are launching a new container service between Asia and Black Sea. Commencing mid September, the new service will deploy seven vessels capable of loading 4000 TEU on a fixed-day weekly frequency. Port rotation will be: Shanghai ?" Ningbo ?" Shekou ?" Nansha ?" Port Kelang ?" Istanbul ?" Constanza ?" Ilyichevsk ?" (Shanghai).
"K" Line, which will be providing just one vessel to the service, points out that it currently provides its own feeder service between Port Said, Egypt, and Black Sea ports called "BSX (Black Sea Express)." The new direct service between Asia and Black Sea will further enhance its global service network in what it terms a "fast growing market." [28/08/07]
