BINTULU: MV Baltic Strait, the container vessel of Evergreen Marine Corp (EMC) with a carrying capacity of 1,702 TEUs, has made her maiden voyage to the Bintulu International Container Terminal (BICT) of Bintulu Port last week.

This earmarked the launching of another direct shipping service by EMC, known as China Philippine Malaysia Service ( CPM) that connect BICT to several major ports within Intra Asia Trade Route.

This shipping service will be the second service call by EMC at BICT and will complement the existing service call of Taiwan Philippine Indonesia Service (TPI).

Aside from container vessel MV Baltic Strait, another container vessel, Uni Premier will be deployed to serve the CPM Service.

The routing for CPM Service is Bintulu – Shekou – Hong Kong – Manila – Kota Kinabalu. MV Baltic Strait and Uni Premier will call BICT on a weekly basis with allocated windows on Wednesday of each week.

The selection of Bintulu Port by EMC for this service signifies their confidence in Bintulu Port.
