Yang Ming and Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) have unveiled a new container shipping service connecting China and Thailand.

Set to begin operations on January 10, the service will follow a 21-day round-trip schedule with fixed weekly departures from the port of Shanghai.

The port rotation for the service will include the following stops: Shanghai (China) – Ningbo (China) – Xiamen (China) – Nansha (China) – Laem Chabang (Thailand) – Shekou (China) – Shanghai.

OOCL has named the route the China Laem Chabang Service (CHL2), while Yang Ming refers to it as the China-Thailand Express (CTE). The service aims to strengthen both companies' footprint in the growing intra-Asia trade market.

“The CTE service will provide customers with flexible, reliable, and high-quality container shipping solutions,” Yang Ming stated. OOCL added, “CHL2 will further optimize our network coverage between East China, South China and Thailand, featuring competitive transit times and enhancing service reliability alongside the existing CHL suite services.”
