MCC Adds Vessel, Eyes Expanded Asia Cabotage Service

MCC Transport may expand its presence in Asia’s cabotage market after purchasing its third vessel this year, increasing the Intra-Asia carrier's fleet to 56 charter ships.   “We are looking into whether we can apply what we have learned in the Philippines to other countries,” said MCC CEO Tim Wickmann. “Indonesia, Vietnam and even the Taiwan-China trade could be relevant in such cases, but it takes a lot of preparation and good local partners.”   MCC, part of the A.P. Moller Maersk Group, has been running container services on domestic trades in the Philippines for four years using its own vessels under the MCC brand.   The Journal of Commerce Online
