A New China Indonesia Philippines Service Calling at DaChan Bay Terminals
On 6 September, the maiden call of “LUDWIG SCHULTE” of Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) at DaChan Bay Terminals marked the commencement of China Indonesia Philippines Service (CIP) at the port in western Shenzhen.
As the last port of call in China, CIP offers competitive transit times from DaChan Bay Terminals to Jakarta, Semarang and Surabaya. It only takes 6 days to Jakarta and 9 days to Semarang. DaChan Bay Terminals provides convenient and extensive highway connections and barge networks which offer more choices and fast transit times for local and west Pearl River Delta shippers.
Managing Director of DaChan Bay Terminals Brian Yeung said: “CIP is one of the few services offering direct calls at Semarang, a growing market in Central Java, which helps shippers to tap into this emerging market. OOCL and DaChan Bay Terminals have a close and long-term cooperation. It is a recognition of the quality services we have been offering to OOCL and customers. End users could experience our latest service standards and we will continue to provide quality supply chain services to our partners.”
OOCL deploys four container ships with a capacity of 1,100 TEU on CIP and it calls DaChan Bay Terminals every Saturday with a port rotation of Shanghai - Ningbo - DaChan Bay - Jakarta - Semarang - Surabaya - Manila - Hong Kong - Shanghai.
