CSAV NORASIA Adds Odessa To ABS Service;
Reflects Importance of Black Sea Region
Hong Kong, May 15th 2006-CSAV NORASIA has announced an important change
to its Asia Black Sea (ABS) service. With immediate effect it is adding
a direct call at the port of Odessa, Ukraine to the service.
The addition of Odessa to the ABS service is a significant move as it
gives customers a direct link from China and South East Asia to the Ukraine,
alongside its existing options. A fast transit time of only 21 days is
offered from Chiwan to Odessa. The new call also adds increased capacity,
greater reliability, and quicker transit. Port rotation is now as follows:
| Port Rotation |
Shanghai/Ningbo/Keelung/Chiwan/Port Klang/Jeddah/Port Said/Constantza/Odessa/Istanbul/Port
Said/Colombo/Port Klang/Shanghai
|
The first call at Odessa was the Norasia Bellatrix, which arrived on
May 5th. The Bellatrix, at 4,400 TEU capacity, is the largest ever container
ship to call at the port of Odessa.
The Black Sea region is an important region to CSAV NORASIA and is served
by two services, the ABS and the AMP. This allows wide port coverage from
all parts of the Asia Pacific region. CSAV NORASIA has seen increasing
levels of demand for service to the Black Sea region, to which it has
responded by offering wider port coverage and increased capacity options.
CSAV NORASIA is a leading shipping line in the East-West trade routes.
Located in Hong Kong, it is part of the CSAV Group, which is located in
Valparaiso, Chile. To know more visit our website www.csavnorasia.com
