    HMM announced that it will launch a new service connecting Far East Asia and Latin America to deliver an improved service.

    The new service is known as the Far East-Latin America Express (FLX) and will be operated in cooperation by HMM and ONE.

    The first voyage of the FLX will depart from Shanghai port on August 16, with a total duration of 42 days for the round-trip journey.

    The port rotation is as follows:

    Shanghai-Busan-Lazaro Cardenas(Mexico)-Busan-Shanghai

    An HMM official said, “We have launched the FLX as the cargo from China to Mexico increases. The new service will provide customers with a premium loop rotation serving Far East Asia to Mexico trade as well as additional network coverage between Asia and Mexico. The FLX will be joined with our existing NW(New West Latin America Service)1, NW2, and NW3 services to provide an extensive network connecting Asia and South America.”
