Maersk Line launches new PNG service

Maersk Line has introduced a new fortnightly liner service to Papua New Guinea with two vessels. The PNG Express will sail from Malaysia's Tanjung Pelepas on 30 May and arrive at Papua New Guinea's Port Moresby on 3 June, Maersk Line announced Friday. The Reecon Wolf of 874 teu and the Vega Fynen of 712 teu will service the new route. The port rotation will be Tanjung Pelepas, Jakarta, Port Moresby, Lae, Madang, and back to Tanjung Pelepas. In order to ensure equipment availability and schedule reliability for the fortnightly service, Maersk Line has sailed the Reecon Wolf on a full rotation of the service from Tanjung Pelepas departing 9 May to position empty containers in Papua New Guinea ports. “We are really excited about this new addition to our global service network, and are confident that our services will provide new opportunities for Malaysia and Singapore customers to expand their business to Papua New Guinea,” said Bjarne Foldager, Maersk Line country manager for Malaysia and Singapore.
