Intra-Asia trade specialist MCC Transport, based in Singapore, is revising its Shanghai 1 (SH-1) route to expand its current scope of service within East and Southeast Asia.

Launched in September last year, the revised loop will add calls to Port Klang, Keelung, and Kaohsiung.

First sailing is on the vessel Dhaka, which is expected to depart Shanghai on March 11, 2012, said MCC, a subsidiary of Danish oil and shipping group A.P. Moller-Maersk.
