CHINA Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) is joining the Russia Finland feeder service (RFS) jointly operated by Cosco and Yang Ming, thereby, replacing Hanjin Shipping as a ship operating partner. The move enables CSCL to offer a feeder service in the Baltic for the first time, instead of relying on slots, reports Alphaliner. The RFS offers a cycle of three weeks combining two successive rotations that are operated by three ships on a port rotation of: Hamburg (HHLA and Eurogate), St Petersburg (Petrolesport and FCT), Kotka, Hamburg, St Petersburg, Kotka and back to Hamburg. CSCL will provide the chartered 1,216-TEU Lantau Arrow to the service, replacing the 1,050-TEU Evolution that Hanjin is to redeliver.   Asian Shipper News
