JAPAN's NYK Line and Thailand's Regional Container Lines (RCL) have launched a new joint Thailand-Vietnam-Canton service (TVC/RBH).
    The three-week TVC/RBH service runs with three 1,000-TEU ships, two of which from RCL and one from NYK. The first sailing was scheduled on May 13 from Bangkok by vessel Chana Bhum. The rotation includes Bangkok, Laem Chabang, Haiphong, Shenzhen-Shekou, Hong Kong, Haiphong, Hong Kong, Shenzhen-Shekou and back to Bangkok.
    This new service, reported maritime analyst Alphaliner, replaces several port connections provided by NYK's Thailand-Vietnam-Singapore (TVS) service that is jointly operated with Vinalines and encompasses RCL's Shekou to Haiphong service (RSH).
