Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has announced the launch of its new China Cambodia Thailand Service (CCT4). The new service reinforces the company's expanding network across South China, Cambodia, and Thailand, and advances its commitment to reliable regional connectivity.
Commencing on 23 October 2026, the CCT4 service establishes a direct link between four key ports: Nansha and Shekou in South China, Sihanoukville in Cambodia, and Songkhla in Thailand. The service is designed to deliver increased capacity, greater scheduling flexibility, and competitive transit times, supporting the region's rising trade volumes and reinforcing commercial ties between these fast-growing markets.
The CCT4 port rotation is as follows:
Nansha - Shekou - Sihanoukville - Songkhla - Nansha
This looped rotation provides a consistent, repeatable schedule that connects manufacturing and consumption centers across South China and mainland Southeast Asia.
Trade between South China and Southeast Asia continues to expand, driven by shifting manufacturing patterns, regional supply chain diversification, and steady consumer demand. The CCT4 service responds directly to this momentum by offering shippers a dependable, direct routing that reduces reliance on transshipment and helps protect delivery commitments.
For cargo owners, the direct connections at Nansha, Shekou, Sihanoukville, and Songkhla translate into more predictable transit times and improved schedule reliability - factors that support tighter inventory planning and stronger control over total landed cost. The added capacity also gives businesses greater room to manage seasonal demand and volume fluctuations without compromising service quality.
Freight forwarders and logistics partners gain an additional, flexible routing option to structure competitive solutions for their clients across diverse industries. The consistent weekly-style rotation supports accurate scheduling, streamlined documentation planning, and dependable service commitments across the corridor.
For importers and buyers, the direct link between South China and the ports of Sihanoukville and Songkhla offers a practical path to faster market entry and more efficient customs planning, helping reduce lead times and support healthier cash flow.
The introduction of CCT4 reflects OOCL's continued investment in intra-Asia connectivity and its strategy to position its network for the evolving needs of regional trade. By linking South China with Cambodia and Thailand through a single, direct rotation, the service strengthens the commercial bridge between these markets and expands the options available to businesses moving goods across the region.
The CCT4 service is not simply an addition to a schedule - it is a deliberate step in OOCL's broader effort to build a resilient, responsive network that keeps pace with the changing dynamics of global trade.
Further details on sailing schedules, cut-off times, and booking arrangements are available through OOCL's local offices and official booking channels.
