To provide coverage of Xiamen, Nansha, Hong Kong and Yantian to Australian ports a Hong Kong call will be added to the North East Australia service also operated by ONE, MSC and Maersk. The first sailing from Hong Kong on this service will be on the MOL Genesis scheduled to depart the port of Yokohama on 21 April.
