OOCL is pleased to announce the introduction of a new service, the Southeast Asia Australia Service (ASAL), by combining and restructuring two existing consortium networks.

The current Singapore – Australia Service (ASA) will be merged with the existing Asia – Australia Container Service (SAL) to form the new ASAL where the first sailing will commence on April 19 from Singapore.

The newly consolidated service will deploy five 3,400 to 3,600 TEU vessels to provide a competitive service network with attractive direct sailing schedules in the Southeast Asia – Australia trade.
