Sinokor and Heung A extend ‘HPS1’ loop to Russian FE

Sinokor Merchant Marine and Heung A Line, both parts of the Sinokor Group, will later this month extend their existing Korea – South China – Northern Vietnam ‘HPS1’ loop to the Russian Far East. 

Besides adding a regular call at Vladivostok (Commercial Terminal), the expanded ‘HPS1’ will also cover Chiwan in South China. 
This move follows Sinokor's and Heung A Line's recent reorganization of their East Asia – Russian Far East loops, which involves the revision of their existing China – Korea – Russian Far East ‘SRS’ service and the introduction of a fortnightly ‘SRS2’ loop that also covers the three countries. 
The extended ‘HPS1’ will become a butterfly service that centers in Busan with one loop which continues to serve South China and Northern Vietnam, while the other loop links with the Russian Far East. 

This loop will increase its turnaround time from two to three weeks to cover Busan, Ulsan, Kwangyang, Hong Kong, Haiphong, Hong Kong, Chiwan (Shenzhen), Xiamen, Busan, Vladivostok, Busan. 
The carriers will deploy three 1,000 – 1,100 teu ships, including the 1,003 teu HEUNG-A XIAMEN, the 1,091 teu YANGTZE TRADER and the current 1,118 teu SENDAI TRADER which will be the first ship on the loop to call Vladivostok on 10 June.
