Upon delivery, CUL MANILA will head for Port Klang to get fully loaded and sail to Nansha to phase into the South China–India CIS service, a joint service with RCL, PIL, and IAL with the rotation Nansha / Shekou / Singapore / Port Klang / Nhava Sheva / Mundra / Port Klang / Haiphong / Nansha.
With the joining of CUL MANILA, the CULINES fleet now operates 32 vessels, 4 owned and 28 chartered, with a total capacity of 82,070TEU. CUL MANILA is the first second-hand ship CULINES purchased this year, and her sister CPAE MARIN would also be delivered in July. With more coming deliveries of newbuilding and second-hand vessels, the ratio of CULINES owned capacity will further increase.
