Jiangsu Dafeng port inaugurates container service to Busan

Dafeng port in China's Jiangsu Province has inaugurated a new container service to South Korea's Busan, the second international service of the port following the Incheon service.

The ports of Dafeng and Busan signed a strategic cooperation agreement earlier this year, which says Dafeng will be the feeder port of Busan and Busan will support South Korean shipping companies to launch feeder services from Dafeng port. Dafeng port was opened to foreign vessels on September 20 last year with the launching of an international container service to South Korea's Incheon. Dafeng port also launched a feeder service to Shanghai port on April 28 this year, which will help to boost the total throughput of Dafeng port to one million tonnes and 20,000TEU this year.
