South Korea's major shipper hmm announced that it will start a new regular container shipping service linking the country's port city of Busan and the eastern coastal cities of South America in December.
A 5,000 TEU container carrier will be deployed for the service to be launched on December 7, HMM said in a statement, reports Yonhap News Agency.
It will take 84 days for the container carrier to make a round trip on the Busan-Montevideo route, the shipper said.
HMM said the launch of the new South Korea-South America container shipping service is aimed at supporting the country's exporters, who have difficulty in shipping their containers overseas.
'Most of the container shipping service linking South Korea and South America has stopped in recent months as a global shortage of container carriers caused global shippers not to stop at Busan,' HMM said.
