CONTAINER shipping lines Yang Ming and Regional Container Lines (RCL) have commenced a new service connecting Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Yang Ming has branded the service SE5.

The SE5 will be operated by two vessels: the 1,248-TEU Nanta Bhum that is registered in Thailand and operated by RCL and the 1,500-TEU YM Harmony, which is registered in Taiwan and operated by Yang Ming.

The port rotation is Singapore, Bangkok, Singapore, Belawan, Port Klang and back to Singapore.

"This service will provide a more stable schedule for Bangkok (PAT) with the addition of a second vessel in the rotation," RCL said. 

"Dipping in Port Klang (Westport) allows SOC [shipper owned container] customers to choose between Singapore and Port Klang for their transhipment requirement ex Belawan. This service also provides a direct ride through between Bangkok (PAT) and Belawan and vice versa for both our SOC and COC [carrier owned container] customers."
