CULINES Bangkok-Max Vessels to Phase into Thailand Services

Thailand has always been a key market of CULINES. CUL NANSHA is a Bangkok-max container newbuilding dedicated for Thailand services. As one of the most competitive and profitable designs in Thailand services, CUL NANSHA could accommodate more containers within the draft limit of the Bangkok Port, thus maximizing the loading.

SCT is one of the fastest, most stable, and most reliable South China-Thailand services featuring fine market recognition and customer service. As planned, the second sister will be named and delivered in late June, and the other two in September. Undoubtedly, the deployment of CUL NANSHA and her sisters could bring more secured capacity and better customer experience, further increasing the competitiveness of CULINES in the Intra-Asia market.

Since the establishment of Thailand branch in March last year, the business in Thailand has been increasing at a very fast pace. The Thailand company has become one of the most important branches of CULINES in Southeast Asia.

CULINES is deploying more capacities to provide direct services between Thailand and South China / East China / Vietnam / Malaysia / India / Middle East. Through slot purchase and swap, CULINES also provides direct services between Thailand and Northeast China / Taiwan. Moreover, with the comprehensive network, CULINES offers regular services from Thailand via South China to USWC/Europe. For multimodal transport, CULINES provides sea-rail intermodal services between Thailand and Chinese inland points via South China.


Thanks to the policy dividends of the RCEP, the stability and quality of Chinese foreign trade will be further improved, and the China-Thailand trade relationship will also be closer. Going forward, CULINES will join hands with partners in Thailand to seize the opportunities and promote the development of international logistics in the RCEP region.
