Swire launches PWX
A new service has been introduced in the Asia-Pacific trade lanes. Swire Shipping, the former China Navigation Company, has launched the Pacific Weekly Express (PWX) service. It calls ports on a seven-day frequency in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, and Fiji, with connections in Fiji and Nouméa to the Pacific Islands of Tonga, Vanuatu, Samoa, American Samoa, and Tahiti.
PWX combines two existing services – superseding the existing Southeast Asia (SEA) and East Southeast Asia (ESEA) services. The new offering complements existing fixed-day fortnightly products on the Australia-Pacific Islands (PIS) Service and North Asia Express (NAX) Service (serving North Asia to Papua New Guinea and Townsville, Australia).
