Due to start in July the North Asia Express (NAX) service will provide a 10-day and 16-day transit between Shanghai and Townsville and Lae in PNG respectively.

“The North Asia Express service will expand Swire Shipping’s network coverage across the region,” said Jeremy Sutton, general manager for Swire’s Asia trades.
