COSCO Shipping Specialized Carriers has launched three liner services linking Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
A bi-weekly Southeast Asia Heavy Lift liner service will call at key ports including Laem Chabang and Singapore, targeting wind power equipment, construction machinery and other oversized cargo.
Its Persian Gulf liner service will provide at least two fixed sailings per month under a one-port loading, one-port unloading model. It will connect China with Dammam and Jebel Ali in roughly 20 days. The service is aimed at new energy and industrial project shipments.
The Northwest Europe liner service opens a two-way corridor between the Far East and ports such as Antwerp and Rotterdam. Transit times, according to COSCO Shipping, will be around 35 days. Southbound voyages will move steel and new energy vehicles, while northbound legs focus on bulk commodities including pulp and grain.
