Asian Shipper

Lloyd Triestino, a subsidiary of Evergreen Marine Corporation, and CMA CGM are to extend the east-bound leg of their jointly operated China/Adriatic express service by adding a call at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP) in April.

The service expansion will complement the existing westbound calls to PTP in Malaysia that began in November, the carriers said in a statement.

Seven vessles are to be deployed on this service, with Lloyd Triestino contributing five ships and CMA CGM two vessels.
 
PTP CEO, Datuk Mohd Sidik Shaik Osman said: “The extension of the Adriatic Express’ east bound calls to PTP is a testament to the excellent facilities and services that are on offer here.
 
We are confident that more services will open up to the opportunities and benefits that south-west Johor, and specificall the Port of Tanjung Pelepas provides.
 
PTP will continue to provide our customers with the highest levels of productivity and quality to further improve our regional hub potential.
