Swire adds fifth 1,100-TEU ship to Asia-Australia service

SWIRE plans to add a fifth 1,100-TEU ship to the four it already runs between south east Asia and the east coast of Australia and Northern Territory ports.

The port rotation is: Phu My, Vietnam; Map Ta Phut and Sri Racha in Thailand and Port Kelang in Malaysia and then to Singapore and Jakarta before heading to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea; Honiara in the Soloman Islands; and the Australian ports of Darwin, Brisbane, Melbourne, Port Kembla, Western Port, Newcastle and Townsville.

Four 1,100-TEU ships now offer 18-day sailing frequencies, making the complete loop in 70 days.
