“K” Line Adds Direct Thailand – East India service

August 25, 2011

KAWASAKI KISEN KAISHA, LTD. (“K” Line) is enhancing its East India service with the introduction of a new Thailand – East India Express (TCX) service starting 7th September 2011 from Laem Chabang as a slot operator.

The port rotation will be as follows:

Laem Chabang – Singapore – Port Kelang – Chennai – Visakhapatnam – Port Kelang – Singapore – Laem Chabang

With this new direct service, the transit time from Laem Chabang to Chennai will reduce to 8 days, thus “K” Line will be able to provide an even better quality service to our valued customers in this region.

“K” Line presently operates another weekly service (called INDFEX-2) calling at Pusan, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shekou, Singapore and East India.
