德翔海運向日本旭洋 造船廠（ Kyokuyo ）下單訂造的四艘 1,096 箱（ 20呎櫃）貨櫃船，第四艘船已本月 9 日交船，命名為「德翔神戶」輪，新船將投入 JTK 航線。另公司 7 月 25 日起透過互換艙位方式，新增日本 香港 新馬 華南 JSM 航線。

「德翔神戶」輪裝有脫硫器，今年4、5月油價低檔時，高硫與低硫油價差曾經不到50美元，9日晚間新加坡高硫油每噸收盤價251美元，低硫油319美元，價差有68美元，粗估每月約可節省2.8萬美元油料支出，隨著疫情改善，油價回升，估計價差還會拉大。

「德翔神戶」輪總長133米，型寬22.5米，可裝載1,096箱貨櫃。德翔將先安排新船服務兩航次的上海-關西快船航線（SJX-2 SERVICE）與一航次的上海-關東船航線（SJX-5 SERVICE），預計本月23日從大阪與神戶裝載直達上海卸櫃，8月5日從東京開始長期服務德翔海運的日本／台灣／香港／華南／越南航線航線（JTK SERVICE），一次往返航程為21天。

為了因應國際海事組織2020年1月1日生效的IMO限硫令，配合環保趨勢，「德翔神戶」建造時已直接加裝脫硫塔。今年至11月底，德翔陸續會有10艘船完裝安裝脫硫塔，德翔神戶輪交船後，自有船艘數將達到13艘，自有船比例將達32％。

該公司明年還有兩艘新船交船，此外，目前二手船舶價位處於相對低檔，德翔也在物色是否有適合船舶可購入，未來自有船數比例將朝50％邁進。

另德翔海運為強化亞洲區間服務網絡，提升亞洲航線運送品質，自七月起透過換艙的合作方式，新部署1條日本-星馬航線（JSM），藉由持續發展航線網絡以提供客戶更完整、快捷的亞洲區間運送服務。航線彎靠港口包含東京-橫濱-清水-名古屋-神戶-香港-新加坡-巴生-新加坡-香港-蛇口-東京。

德翔海運持續強化亞洲區間航線運力，新增此一周班直航航線並搭配現行服務網絡，將可於日本、香港、新馬、及中國大陸華南之間，提供客戶每週更便利、更優質及更綿密之運送服務，以滿足客戶需求，提升客戶滿意度。

From late July, TS Lines will begin to offer a weekly service that will directly connect Japan, South China and the Straits. It will be ensured through slots on the ‘Japan Straits Malaysia’ or ‘JSM’ loop, operated by Ocean Network Express (ONE).

TS Lines will retain the ‘JSM’ branding to market the service and its first effective sailing is scheduled on 25 July from Tokyo on the 4,799 teu MOL EARNEST. The ‘JSM’ service connects Tokyo, Yokohama, Shimizu, Nagoya, Kobe, Keelung*, Hong Kong, Singapore, Port Kelang (W)
, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shekou, Tokyo (*TS Lines does not participate at Keelung).
It turns in four weeks using four ships of 4,800 – 5,000 teu.

The ‘JSM’ service will complement TS Lines’ current offering between the Japanese main ports and the Straits, adding to the ‘Japan Straits – Vietnam’ service jointly operated with Yang Ming, KMTC and Gold Star Line (GSL).

CHAIRMAN of TS Lines, Chen Te Shen says controlling costs and services additions on routes with growing demand have led to the Taiwan carrier’s 170 per cent year-on-year increase in profits.

The Taiwanese operator of the intra-Asia carrier reported profits of TWD650 million (US$21.49 million), achieved by responding to challenging conditions caused by Covid-19 with the company withdrawing from the US trades and concentrating on operating intra-Asian and Asia-Australia routes. Mr Chen said the company further reduced costs by redelivering chartered vessels that were deployed on withdrawn services.

The leased fleet increased the flexibility of the company’s operations. While owning a certain percentage of newly built own ships, with high fuel efficiency, allowed the company to reduce costs further, reports Container News, Jacksonville.

Mr Chen said that there is a silver lining in the pandemic, as oil prices collapsed to an 18-year low, resulting in low-sulphur fuel oil becoming cheaper. This meant compliance with the International Maritime Organization’s emissions cap was more affordable.

“Oil prices fell sharply in March. As the fuel surcharge was calculated based on the oil price of the previous quarter, when our actual bunker costs fell, the company’s profit increased," explained Mr Chen.

Cargoes to and from India and the Philippines declined during Q2, but TS Lines added services to Thailand and Vietnam, where cargo demand remained strong. Consequently, the carrier’s operating profit for Q2 2020 is forecast to be TWD700 million.

The chairman said: “We’ll continue to acquire vessels and commission newbuildings. Three years ago, we aimed to own five vessels. At the time, we operated 36 vessels. Today, we are operating 46 ships, including 12 owned vessels. Another three are under construction. Today’s newbuildings are fuel-efficient, but it takes two years for a vessel to be built. If there are suitable pre-owned ships in the market, we’ll consider second-hand purchases."

TS Lines (TSL), APL (CGM CGM Group) and Gold Star Line (GSL) will introduce in mid-April a weekly service directly connecting China, Central and southern Vietnam and Cambodia through its main gateway Sihanoukville. APL will advertise this service under its Intra-Asia brand Cheng Lie Navigation (APL-CNC) and it will brand it as ‘China Vietnam Cambodia’ service (CVC), as will do TSL, while GSL will market it as ‘China Sihanoukville Vietnam’ service (CSV) (See details).

The ‘CVC / CSV’ service will turn in three weeks using three ‘Bangkokmax’ vessels (1,700-1,800 teu). It will cover Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Hong Kong, Danang, Sihanoukville, Ho Chi Minh City, Shekou, Shanghai. The first effective sailing is scheduled on 18 April from Shanghai.

This new service will allow TS Lines to serve Danang directly for the first time and to reinstate calls at Sihanoukville, that TSL used to serve from May 2017 to November 2018. It will boost APL and GSL coverage of Cambodia, offering direct links with Central and South China as well as with Central Vietnam. It will also cater to the growing trade between the neighbouring countries of Cambodia and Vietnam.

德翔海運（T.S. Lines）繼三月開闢華中北-胡志明快船航線（NCX2）以來，將於四月份新又開闢中國-越南-柬埔寨航線（China-Vietnam-Cambodia Service,簡稱CVC航線），該航線自四月十八日起從上海開航，德翔海運為第二船位,於四月二十五日於上海投入一艘BKKMAX型貨櫃船。

掛靠港口順序為上海（Shanghai）-寧波（Ningbo）-蛇口（Shekou）-香港（Hong Kong）-峴港（Danang）-西哈努克（Sihanoukville）-胡志明（Hochiminh）-蛇口（Shekou）-上海（Shanghai），巡航一次共計21天。

該公司表示，柬埔寨與越南間宣佈關閉兩國邊境並實施嚴格檢疫通關規定，預期中國直達柬埔寨西哈努克港需求會上升，柬埔寨貨主也會改由西哈努克港直接出口中國與其他國家，再加上越南銷往中國的水果,冷凍水產貨量需求增加，該公司開闢此航線，可提供貨主中國／越南／柬埔寨間的快航服務。

此外，德翔海運將藉由香港與蛇口的中轉樞紐優勢，可以有效搭配現有的亞洲航線，提供亞洲各地貨主經由香港與蛇口進出越南與柬埔寨的便捷服務。

TS Lines will organize a weekly service connecting South China and Thailand, focusing on carrying reefer boxes between the two markets. It will be aptly named ‘Thailand Reefer Express’ Service (TRX – See details) and is scheduled to start on 24 March.

The ‘TRX’ service will call at Hong Kong, Nansha, Shekou, Bangkok, Laem Chabang, Hong Kong. It will turn in two weeks using two ships of about 1,100 teu, the freshly chartered 1,118 teu VEGA KAPPA and the 1,134 teu ASIATIC BAY. Both ships feature more than 200 reefer plugs.

德翔海運宣布本月24日起將新增香港/華南/泰國TRX航線，成為公司進出泰國的第八條航線。德翔總經理涂鴻麟指出，中泰之間往來的農產品特別多，公司這次挑選的兩艘可裝載1,100箱（20呎櫃）貨櫃船，船上各配置約250個40呎冷凍櫃插頭，以滿足市場需求。

涂鴻麟指出，中國大陸2月運歐美的貨載都是衰退的，但是出口到東南亞的貨載成長3％。泰國原就是中國大陸的備援生產基地，包括汽車、成衣等相關產品，泰國的米、榴槤、龍眼、山竹等在大陸很受歡迎，大陸的橘子、葡萄等也銷往泰國，因此對冷凍櫃需求特別高。

中泰航線雙向貨載相當均衡，市場成長性高，德翔配合近洋航線布局，擴大亞洲區間服務網路，新開的TRX航線，彎靠港口依序為香港-南沙-蛇口-曼谷-林查班-香港。

新航線由德翔單獨經營，投入兩艘貨櫃船提供每周一航次運務，提供泰國四天直航香港，華南五天直航泰國的快航服務，是中泰之間最快速的航班，在蛇口、香港與泰國間，與另一條泰國航線共同提供每周雙班服務，提供客戶雙向間更多元、便捷且優質的貨物運送服務。

德翔海運（T.S. Lines）目前有八條泰國航線營運服務，為因應預期市場將持續成長，且配合近洋航線布局，並擴大亞洲區間服務網路，該公司昨發布消息表示，預計自今年三月二十四日起，提供香港-華南-泰國的週班航線服務（Thai-land Reefer Express Service,簡稱TRX航線），藉此新增TRX週班航線，將可提供客戶雙向間更多元、便捷且優質的貨物運送服務。

TRX航線航線掛靠港口順序為：香港（Hong Kong）-南沙（Nansha）-蛇口（Shekou）-曼谷（Bangkok）-林查班（Laem Chabang）-香港（Hong Kong）。將由德翔海運投入兩艘1,100 TEU型貨櫃船運作，提供貨主泰國四天直航香港與五天華南直航泰國的快航服務。
