CULINES Bangkok-Max vessels to phase into Thailand services

CUL NANSHA could accommodate more containers thus maximising the loading

Thailand has always been a critical market for CULINES. CUL NANSHA is a Bangkok-max container new building dedicated to 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 maximising the loading.

Fastest, most stable, and most reliable service

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 2022, and the other two in September 2022.

Undoubtedly, the deployment of CUL NANSHA and her sisters could bring more secure capacity and better customer experience, further increasing the competitiveness of CULINES in the Intra-Asia market.

Direct services

Since the establishment of the Thailand branch in March 2021, 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 also provides direct services between Thailand and Northeast China / Taiwan

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.

International logistics 

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.

Due 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 closed. Going forward, CULINES will join hands with partners in Thailand to seize opportunities and promote the development of international logistics in the RCEP region.
