27/08/2008 |
| Maersk Line has announced the enhanced Asia to Australia service, which will bring a unique and innovative solution to servicing the Australian market. In creating a new and comprehensive ‘pendulum loop’, the container shipping giant has combined three existing services into one single rotation. It will deploy ten vessels, allowing for the optimal combination of efficiency through size and ability to operate at economical speeds.
Maersk Line has named the new Asia-Australia service (which will be phased in on September 27), the ‘Boomerang Service’ to reflect its relation to Australia and to emphasise the strong link this service creates to the key economic areas in the South-East and North-East Asia.
Maersk Line will offer its customers a comprehensive and consistent coverage through a single and effective product. Furthermore, the new schedule will ensure an increased reliability.
The new service combines the present AU1 (North Asia to/from Australia), AU2 (East Asia to/from Australia), and AU3 (South-East Asia to/from Australia) services and will offer Maersk Line customers the following rotation:
Boomerang - North-East Asia (Southbound): Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Busan, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Chiwan, Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
Boomerang - North-East Asia (Northbound): Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Busan, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Chiwan, Hong Kong and Kaohsiung.
