Hanjin-led partners consolidate south east Asia-Australia loops
HANJIN Shipping has announced that ocean liners operating separate services on the south east Asia-Australia trade lane are consolidating their services from mid-April.
As a result of this decision, the Singapore-Australia Service (ASA), which Hanjin brands as the AUS and is operated jointly with ANL, OOCL and RCL with four 1,900-TEU vessels, will be combined with the Asia-Australia (SAL) service operated by CSCL, HMM, Hapag-Lloyd and UASC that uses four 2,250-TEU ships.
The AUS calls at Jakarta, Singapore, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and returns to Jakarta. As for the SAL its port rotation is Port Kelang, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and back to Port Kelang.
According to the partner carriers, the newly consolidated service named South East Asia-Australia Service (ASAL), which will still be branded AUS by Hanjin, will be jointly operated with CSCL, Hapag-Lloyd, RCL and UASC with five 3,400- to 3,600-TEU ships. The service will offer weekly sailings to and from all ports previously covered by the separate services. HMM and OOCL will also be participating in the service through a slot purchase.
"The partner carriers comment that consolidating overlapping services through the deployment of fewer, but bigger vessels will increase efficiency while still maintaining quality service expected by customers," said Hanjin.
The port rotation for the new ASAL/AUS container shipping service is Jakarta, Port Kelang, Singapore, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, returning to Jakarta. The service is expected to depart for the first time from Singapore on April 19.
