MOL to launch new service

January 26, 2009 is the launch
date for Mitsui OSK Lines’
new independent service on the
Asia-East Coast South America
trade. This follows the planned
dissolution of the current joint
service with Pacific International
Line (PIL).
The line will replace some
of the current 3 000 teu vessels
with larger and faster ships,
but ports and transit times will
remain unchanged.
Port rotation will be: Kobe
– Yokohama – Nagoya – Pusan
– Shanghai – Yantian – Hong
Kong – Singapore – Santos –
Buenos Aires – Montevideo
– Paranagua – Sao Francisco do
Sul – Santos – Rio de Janeiro
– Cape Town – Port Elizabeth –
Singapore – Hong Kong – Kobe.
