Russian liner Panda Express Line is expanding its scope of services to cover South China.
According to Alphaliner, the Panda Express Line-3 will deploy two sub-2,000 teu ships to connect Vladivostok with the southern Chinese ports of Nansha, Shenzhen, and Xiamen.
Panda Express Line kicked off operations in late 2022, one of a host of new Russian liners that have been created to fill the gap left by the departure of most global liners in the wake of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Today, Panda Express Line operates a fleet of ten 900 to 1,900 teu vessels between the Russian Far East, China, and South Korea.
