HongFa Shipping, the Shanghai‐based new emerging ocean carrier, is ready for its new liner service. Chipol Changjiang, the carrier’s first newbuilding multipurpose vessel has just successfully completed its sea trials on Dec. 8, 2014. One week earlier, Chipol Huanghe, the second sister vessel, was launched.

Starting from January 2015, a total of four 36,000-deadweight-ton vessels will be delivered into service and planned to be employed on the pendulum liner service between Far East, South East Asia and the East Coast of South America, covering major ports en route.

The vessels include well designed features, such as triple-decks with movable pontoons, very large box-shape cargo holds (53 meters by 23 meters), three self-geared heavy cranes with a maximum lifting capacity up to 520 tonnes and low fuel consumption.

HongFa Shipping is now open to all for cargo booking on the Chipol Changjiang.
