MOL revamps Asia-South America plans

The Japanese shipping line Mitsui OSK Line (MOL) has suspended plans to start its own Asia-to- South America east coast service. Instead it will revise the rotation of the CSW service it operates with Singapore carrier Pacific International Line (PIL). The revised schedule will make an additional call westbound in Durban and cancel the Shenzhen (Yantian) call. The revised port rotation is: Kobe, Yokohama, Nagoya, Busan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Durban, Santos, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Paranagua, Sao Francisco Do Sul, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Singapore, Hong Kong and back to Kobe.
