Share This News Story:

SEOUL : KMTC Line has unveiled a new weekly shipping service that will connect Asia with Mexico, slated to begin operations on April 30, 2025. This service will navigate a route that includes Shanghai, Qingdao, Busan in South Korea, and Manzanillo in Mexico, before returning to Shanghai. The initiative is designed to enhance trade flows between East Asia and Latin America, reinforcing KMTC’s strategy for global expansion and its status as a major contender in international container shipping.

This new route is part of KMTC’s ongoing efforts to improve the reliability and speed of its services, reflecting the company’s commitment to operational excellence and network optimization. The addition of this service aims to bolster regional connectivity, particularly through the Middle East. KMTC Middle East will manage transshipment operations via Jebel Ali Port in Dubai, which will facilitate the movement of cargo from the Gulf region to Busan, and subsequently to Mexico. This enhancement is expected to solidify supply chain connections for customers operating in the Middle East and Red Sea regions, creating more efficient channels for trade and logistics.

The launch is aligned with KMTC’s strategic objectives to expand its global reach, foster economic development, and penetrate emerging markets. By incorporating Mexico into its network, KMTC joins other shipping lines that are increasing investments in trans-Pacific routes, a move driven by the need for more resilient and diversified supply chain solutions in light of evolving trade landscapes.

The new service not only promotes increased trade between significant global regions but also opens up opportunities for businesses to access new consumer markets, particularly in Latin America. This positions KMTC as a pivotal player in facilitating global trade and economic interconnectivity.
