TS Lines will launch a second China-Middle East (CME) service in mid-November.
The carrier will initially deploy five vessels ranging from 1,300 to 1,700 TEU on the new service, to be replaced later with five new 2,546 TEU vessels that are scheduled for delivery between January and March 2008.
The 35-day port rotation will be: Qingdao > Shanghai > Ningbo > Hong Kong > Shekou > Port Kelang > Jebel Ali > Bandar Abbas > Port Kelang > Hong Kong > Qingdao.
To co-ordinate with the launching of the Middle East services, TS Lines also plans to add 6,000 TEU and more than 300 reefer slots.
TS Lines deploys 23 vessels ranging from 1,000 to 3,100 TEU on 24 services covering more than twenty countries, and expects its box volume to reach 1.06 million TEU this year, an increase of 38% over 2006.
