Inbound And Outbound Services News

MOL Liner Ltd. (MOL) announced an enhancement of its Intra-Asia service network with new rotation of “HS3” and new Japan-Strait service “HS4,” offering competitive service despite potential schedule disruption as a result of recent port congestion in the region. MOL will introduce Singapore-Jakarta feeder service (AJS is operated by MOL) to stabilize the service schedule of “HS3”. This will help maintain competitive transit times from Japan to Jakarta by transshipment to this dedicated feeder service and reduce the risk of accumulated delays at ports. Furthermore, the new “HS3” will add a direct call at Shekou on the northbound rotation to cover service needs from/to the port of Shekou. MOL will offer a new service “HS4” to link Japan-Taiwan-Hong Kong-Jakarta.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has announced the opening of the new route “SYX” linking Singapore and Yangon starting on March 17. MOL will offer a twice a week joint service with RCL. The service is operated by 3 vessels (T/R 10.5 days) and MOL will provide one ship MV MOL Acclaim. Yangon, a major market in Myanmar, is positioned for future growth. The SYX route will draw on MOL’s own network to offer a wide variety of both inbound and outbound services to meet rising demand in this region.
