Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics is to increase the number of its sailings on the Japan-South Korea-China RoRo service to three a month. This is because of what the company sees as an upturn in trade between the three countries in vehicles, rolling equipment and non-containerised cargo.

Sailings are being offered from the Japanese ports of Kobe, Nagoya, Toyohashi, Gamagori, Hitachinaka and Yokohama to Pusan and Inchon in South Korea and then on to Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou in China.

WWL, which inaugurated the service in 2004, is dedicating three RoRo vessels to the service. All of them are designed to carry cars, buses and trucks, in addition to high and heavy loads, including construction and agricultural equipment, and break bulk cargoes.
