Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation has announced the launch of a new North China–Indonesia–Malaysia service (CIM), further strengthening its presence in the fast-growing intra-Asia shipping market. The new service, scheduled to begin on October 31, 2025, is designed to meet the rising trade demand between China and Southeast Asia, particularly the rapidly expanding Indonesian market.
The CIM service will be jointly operated by Yang Ming, Evergreen Marine Corporation, and Wan Hai Lines Ltd. A total of five vessels, each with capacities ranging from 2,400 to 3,000 TEU, will be deployed on the route. The service will run on a weekly schedule with a 35-day round-trip rotation.
CIM Port Rotation: Dalian – Xingang – Qingdao – Ningbo – Surabaya – Jakarta – Singapore – Port Klang – Kaohsiung – Dalian.
The introduction of the CIM service will complement Yang Ming’s existing CTI route, which connects Central China to Indonesia. With the addition of direct links from North China, the carrier will significantly enhance its China–Indonesia network, offering broader service coverage and improved transit options for regional customers.
Yang Ming stated that the expanded service portfolio is aimed at providing shippers with more flexible, reliable, and comprehensive logistics solutions in response to accelerating trade flows across Asia.
