Evergreen Line starts a new Japan-Taiwan-Philippine (JTP) service and Maersk switches its Polish operations to DCT Gdansk.
Evergreen Line and Wan Hai have announced that a new joint service on the Japan-Taiwan-Philippines will begin in mid-September.
Three vessels jointly operated by Evergreen and Wan Hai will be deployed on the following port rotation:
Osaka > Kobe > Shimizu > Yokohama > Tokyo > Keelung > Taichung > Hong Kong > Manila > Hong Kong > Shekou > Xiamen.
The JTP service will provide an efficient service linking key ports in Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines.
Effective December 1st, Maersk Line will switch its Polish operations from BCT in Gdynia to the new deepwater container terminal DCT Gdansk.
The DCT Gdansk terminal serves as a transhipment hub to St Petersburg and the rest of the Baltic. Its three post-Panamax gantry cranes are able to work vessels carrying containers 18-across on deck. A ro-ro facility has also been provided.
The rail terminal, operated by DCT Gdansk, is located adjacent to the marine facility and a major logistics/distribution park is now in the planning stage, making DCT the ideal gateway to Poland and Eastern & Central Europe.
The extra container volumes that will come with Maersk's arrival will trigger further investment by DCT, including additional equipment and the upgrade of its rail terminal.
