Maersk Line switches to new terminal in Busan

Maersk Line has announced that it will move most of its operations from Busan North port to the terminal operated by DP World, Pusan Newport Co (PNC).

Maersk now calls at Busan North port with 10 services. Eight of these will move to PNC, while two joint services will stay at Busan North Port. Maersk is expected to bring more than 700,000 TEU a year to PNC in addition to creating more jobs there.

PNC also expects a rapid increase in the number of common feeders calling at the terminal to service the substantial new volumes of Maersk Line and the CSAV, ZIM, Emirates and United Arab Shipping Company services already committed to the facility.

The move comes after new logistics facilities were recently opened in the support area bordering the terminal which boosts its existing capability to support the growth of the main line and feeder operators.
