Jiangsu Dafeng port inaugurates container service to Busan

Dafeng port in Jiangsu province has inaugurated a new container service to South Korea's Busan, which is the second international service of the port following the Incheon service.

Ports of Dafeng and Busan signed an strategic cooperation agreement earlier this year, which says Dafeng will be the feeder port of Busan and Busan will support South Korean shipping companies to launch feeder services from Dafeng port.

Dafeng port was open for foreign vessels on September 20 last year with the launching of an international container service to South Korea's Incheon.

Dafeng port also launched a feeder service to Shanghai port on April 28 this year, which will help to boost the total throughput of Dafeng port to one million tons and 20,000 TEU this year.
