Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority Attracts Fifth New Container Route This Year

CNC JTVS Service New Acquisition, Generating 25,000 TEU Annual New Volume

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seonsik] Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority (President Park Seonghyun, YGPA) announced on the 20th that despite adverse external conditions, it successfully attracted the new Southeast Asia container route JTVS (Japan Thailand Vietnam Service) through the proactive marketing efforts of its executives and employees.

The new service operator is CNC, a subsidiary of CMA-CGM, which will deploy four vessels of 1,700~1,800 TEU class to call at Gwangyang Port once a week.

The first voyage saw the vessel 'NORDELOPARD' arrive at Gwangyang Port West Container Terminal (GWCT) on the 20th.

The JTVS service transports cargo in the 'Japan-Gwangyang-Southeast Asia' region, with ports of call including Tokyo-Yokohama-Nagoya-Kobe-Busan-Gwangyang-Cutrai (Vietnam)-Lam Chabang-Ho Chi Minh-Tokyo.

The Port Authority expects that this service will provide more convenient transportation services to shippers importing cargo from Japan and exporting cargo to the Southeast Asia region.

It also anticipates generating new cargo volume of 22,000 to 25,000 TEU annually at Gwangyang Port.

An official from the authority stated, “We are promoting company-wide marketing with the goal of attracting 10 new routes this year. So far, we have secured 5 new routes to strengthen route connectivity, and we will make even greater efforts to achieve our goal by the end of the year.”
