CNC Line Expands Services Between China and SE Asia
Cheng Lie Navigation Co (CNC), part of the CMA CGM Group,
is strengthening its position in the intra-Asian trades by
upgrading its existing China-SE Asia service and launching
three new services. The moves are designed to “allow CNC to
cope with further growth in volumes in the coming months”
and “provide customers with enhanced reefer service between
North China and South East Asian ports,” comments Robert
Sallons, CNC Liner Department General Manager.
The existing China 1 service will henceforth deploy four
vessels with a nominal capacity of 2,700teu - replacing the
fleet’s current 1,700teu vessels - with the following
rotation: Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Hong Kong,
Manila (ATI & ICT), Jakarta, Surabaya, Hong Kong (MID &
HIT), Qingdao.
In addition, three new services are being introduced as
follows:
- The NCX service between North China and Vietnam,
starting June 25, will offer quick transit times for
cargo moving between North China and Vietnam as well as
full coverage of Pearl River Delta ports via Hong Kong.
It will be served by three vessels with a nominal
capacity of 1,700teu offering over 200 Reefer plugs per
week. Rotation: Dalian, Xingang, Qingdao, Lianyungang,
Hong Kong (HIT & MID), Shekou, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong
(HIT & MID), Dalian.
- The CHT service linking Korea and China to Thailand,

will be served by three vessels with a nominal capacity
of 1,700teu. Rotation: Incheon, Qingdao, Shanghai, Hong
Kong (HIT), Laem Chabang, Bangkok, Laem Chabang, Hong
