JAPANESE shipping giant MOL has taken slots on the Far East-Red Sea (REX 3/ARC 2) weekly joint service operated by CMA CGM, UASC and CSCL to boost its Far East-Jeddah connectivity with the extra link.
The Japanese shipping line is branding this arrangement RSX, reported Alphaliner.
The port rotation is Xiamen, Shenzhen-Yantian, Shenzhen-Shekou, Port Kelang, Djibouti, Jeddah, Port Sudan, Djibouti, Port Kelang and back to Xiamen.
But MOL focuses on Jeddah only, and does not participate in the Djibouti and Port Sudan port calls.
The RSX allows MOL to offer new direct connections between Asia and the Red Sea, particularly with Xiamen and Port Kelang, hitherto not directly connected to Jeddah by MOL.
Currently, the carrier serves Jeddah from Asia (westbound) through its participation in the G6 Alliance's Asia-North Europe Loop 1, with focus on Japan, Hong Kong and Vietnam. It also participates in G6 Asia-Mediterranean (EUM) loop with focus on Korea and Central/South China.
In the eastbound direction, the Jeddah-Far East links are provided with the G6 Asia-North Europe Loop 4 and the G6 Asia-US east coast CEC service via the Suez Canal as well as with the EUM, which serves Jeddah in both directions.
The port rotation for the CEC service is Hong Kong, Shenzhen-Shekou, Shenzhen-Yantian, Singapore, New York, Norfolk, Charleston, Jeddah, Singapore, Cai Mep and Hong Kong.
The port rotation of the EUM service is Busan, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Port Klang, Jeddah, Damietta, Genoa, Marseilles-Fos Sur Mer, Barcelona, Valencia, Damietta, Jeddah, Singapore, Hong Kong and back to Busan.
