SOUTH China's Da Chan Bay Terminal One, managed by Hong Kong's Modern Terminals, has welcomed the maiden call of the Haiphong Feeder Service 2 (HPH2) from Hong Kong to North Vietnam on August 27.
This intra-Asia service operated by Hong Kong' s Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) calls weekly at Da Chan Bay in Western Shenzhen, which lies close to key manufacturing hubs in the Pearl River Delta. The feeder service had previously called at the Shekou Container Terminal in Shenzhen.
The port rotation for the weekly HPH2 service is: Haiphong, Fangcheng, Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong (MTL), returning to Haiphong. It deploys one 1,000-TEU ship.
OOCL earlier announced it will also re-route its Philippines Feeder 2 (PHF2) service from Shekou to Da Chan Bay, which links Hong Kong to Manila North and South ports.
Furthermore, fellow Grand Alliance member shipping lines, Hapag-Lloyd and NYK Line, are also switching two of their transpacific services to call at Da Chan Bay instead of Shekou in early September. The services are the Super Shuttle Express (SSX), which is also jointly operated with OOCL, and the Pacific North West Express (PNX) service, which the three Grand Alliance members operate together with Israeli shipping line Zim.
