APL LAUNCHES ASIA FREMANTLE EXPRESS
April 18, 2017

APL has launched its Asia Fremantle Express service, a new weekly connection between Singapore and Fremantle.

 

“APL’s new AFX service will enhance our existing Oceania service network of five services that serve Australia,” said Khai Tou Chan, head of intra-Asia short sea and Oceania services. “With its industry-leading seven-day direct transit between Singapore and Fremantle, the AFX service is the solution for time-sensitive cargo, particularly reefer shipments from Fremantle. Complementing APL’s Asia Australia Express (AAX), the AFX service adds another weekly shipment cut-off time in Singapore and Fremantle which shippers can count on for a more flexible supply chain management.”

 

The first sailing will be on April 27, 2017 from Singapore.

 

The AFX service will connect with APL’s global network at the transhipment hub of Singapore, according to APL.
