Swire Shipping is set to launch a new service and upgrade its multipurpose liner network to key markets in Asia Pacific from 1 July.

The Singapore-based shipowner will launch a new twice monthly direct service from Australia to New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji, offering flexible containerised and breakbulk solutions.

The Pacific Islands service provides connections to Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga and further improves its Fiji to Vanuatu connection with three sailings per month.
