Hanjin goes big on Vietnam-Europe route

9/18/2010 9:28:17 AM

Hanjin Shipping will launch the first direct service from Vietnam to North Europe next month, injecting 58,500 TEUs into the service.

Fast growing Vietnam business saw the big Korean carrier introducing direct services from the Southeast Asian nation to the US East and West Coast last year.

Hanjin, apparently unconcerned by the looming slack season and the practice of slow steaming, will introduce the fastest qualified service connecting Vietnam and North Europe by adding Vung Tau to its current NE5 (Asia North Europe Service 5) on October 17.

"We will be able to reduce current transit time from Vietnam to North Europe from 23 to 19 days, allowing our customers to have the fastest and easier access to the concerned regions," a spokesman for Hanjin said in a statement.

Hanjin Shipping is currently developing a dedicated terminal in Vietnam's Vung Tau region that is scheduled to open next year.

NE5 (Asia North Europe Service 5)

Port Rotation: Gwangyang, Busan, Shanghai, Yantian, Vung Tau, Singapore, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Le Havre, Algeciras, Singapore, Kaohsiung.

Vessel Deployed: Nine 6,500 TEU ships (All Hanjin vessels)
