Hong Kong-based carrier Gold Star Line (GSL) is starting a new China-Korea-Philippines service (CKP), offering faster transit time.
The new service’s rotation is Qingdao-Pusan-Shanghai-Manila (South)-Manila (North)-Qingdao.
In a statement, GSL said CKP offers direct weekly Shanghai-Manila calls, with a five-day transit time. It also offers the fastest transit time from Qingdao to Manila.
Moreover, GSL claims the service has a “suitable schedule for (the) growing reefers’ market”. The carrier noted it has a pool of ample special equipment with protected reefer plugs to offer uninterrupted service.
Honda Lin, GSL commercial director, said, “The new CKP service joins our network of intra-Asia services, providing an excellent solution based on market needs.”
Aside from CKP, GSL also operates a China-South Philippines Service and South China-Manila Express service.
GSL owns a fleet of 21 vessels, has 16 services calling Asia, Africa, and East Mediterranean.
