Taiwan-based Kanway Line recently announced that it will launch a new Hong Kong-Hai Phong direct weekly service in mid-October, according to Exim News Service.
Company Director, Capt. Schooner Lee, said Kanway has entered a slot swap with TS Lines in this new Vietnam service. "We will offer some of our Hong Kong-Taiwan string slots to TS Lines to exchange for its Hong Kong-Hai Phong slots," he said.
As a specialist in operating routes between Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta, Kanway has been running a Hong Kong-Taiwan service for 18 years. It is offering this Hong Kong-Hai Phong service as part of its strategy to gradually expand.
"We bought a vessel in late 2009 to offer direct Hong Kong-Taiwan service. We will follow this strategy in running this new service and will charter or purchase our own vessel to raise our capacity later when the operation of the service becomes more sophisticated. At that time, we will add a call at Fangchenggang in Guangxi," said Capt. Lee. |
