Four 1,800 teu containerships will be deployed on the service that will provide a direct shipping service from China to Ho Chi Minh/Qui Nhon in Vietnam and Bintulu in Malaysia.

With the improvement on Covid-19 control and prevention, the cargo volume for Tianjin-Southeast Asia is recovering, the shipping cost could be further reduced when the new shipping service started.
