APL Enhances China-Australia Coverage

Partnership with Cosco and PIL will provide wider coverage and faster transit times.

Global container transportation leader, APL, is set to enhance its coverage of the fast-growing trade between China and Australia with the launch of a new weekly service in partnership with ocean carriers Cosco and PIL.

The China Australia Service (CAS) will offer customers highly competitive transit times and direct connections between major destinations in both countries.

For example, the CAS offers direct calls at Qingdao, which is a major hub in the Bohai Bay area, as well as the Yangtze River Delta gateways of Ningbo and Shanghai. Moreover, the service also covers the primary Australian east coast destinations of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.
