South Korea's top liner company, Hanjin Shipping, is dropping Hong Kong from its revamped Northeast to Australia service and replacing it with Ningbo port in the Yangtze River Delta.
The new service, called CKA (China-Korea-Australia), will replace its NCA service, which used to call at Hong Kong.
By dropping Hong Kong, the new service will save one day in transit time from the current NCA service.
The service, to be launched next month, will deploy five 1,200 TEU vessels, two from Hanjin, and one each from Sinotrans, Heung-A and STX Pan Ocean.
