“K” Line to Offer New Slots on Asia-Honolulu Service

“K” Line said it will start offering more container slots between Honolulu and Asia next month on an existing service between Asia and the West Coast of South America.

The Japanese carrier will offer the new space on a service it already operates jointly with MOL and NYK Line.

The port rotation of the existing service is: Pusan, Keelung, Ningbo, Shanghai, Nagoya, Yokohama, Honolulu, Manzanillo, Buenaventura, Guayaquil, Manzanillo, Honolulu, Tokyo and back to Pusan.

The weekly service operates with nine vessels with capacities ranging between 2,000 and 2,100 20-foot equivalent units.

The first sailing of the service with the new slots “K” Line is offering will be the MOL Satisfaction, which departs from Pusan on Dec. 3 and arrives in Honolulu on Dec. 20.

The carrier said it plans to make further unspecified enhancements to the service before its scheduled start date.
