Swire Shipping upgraded its multipurpose liner services between North Asia and the Pacific in July, by adding direct calls at the Chinese ports of Nansha and Ningbo, as well as providing a 10-day service frequency between North Asia and Papua New Guinea. Other markets served by Swire Shipping’s North Asia services such as Townsville, Noumea, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Zealand have also benefited from access to more Chinese ports.
