Sinolines is launching a new North China-Philippines (NCP) service to strengthen shipping links between the two regions. This new service will operate on a three-week rotation and deploy three vessels to connect key ports including Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, and Manila. The inaugural voyage is set to depart from Tianjin on August 22. The introduction of the NCP service is part of Sinotrans Container Lines' broader strategy to enhance its shipping network. Currently, Sinotrans offers three distinct services between China and the Philippines, each connecting East China and South China with various ports in the Philippines. By adding this new North China-Philippines route, Sinolines aims to provide more comprehensive coverage and flexibility for shippers and businesses engaged in trade between these regions. The NCP service is expected to improve transit times and frequency for cargo moving between North China and the Philippines, offering a valuable new option for importers and exporters in these key markets. The new services offers an express direct service from North China and seamless connection from Japan/Korea to Manila via Tianjin and Qingdao.
