Taiwan ship makes maiden Subic call

Wan Hai Lines, one of Taiwan’s biggest shipping lines, has made its maiden port call at the Subic Bay with a full container shipping vessel signalling the operation of the Subic-Clark-Kaohsiung economic corridor.

Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority senior deputy administrator for operations Gen. Jose Calimlim welcome the Wan Hai’s maiden port call at the inauguration of the Formal Hall in the Freeport.

"This is a great opportunity for our locators to exploit Wan Hai’s capability of shipping containerized goods. They would not have to ship their goods to Manila then haul it by land, they just have to ship it directly to Subic," Calimlim said.

Wan Hai executive vice president Alex Lim cited Subic’s fast rising businesses.

"We saw a lot of business opportunities in this flourishing Freeport that can be capitalized on," Lim said.

Wan Hai has an initial staff of five to operate and run their Subic office. They provide a weekly service every Wednesday.

Founded in 1965, Wan Hai’s business was mainly on the log transport in Taiwan, Japan and the Southeast Asia.

In 1976, the company responded to the rapid development of international trade in the Asia Pacific area by transforming into a full container vessel operation.

Wan Hai has more than 30 years of experience in shipping, comprehensive hardware and software equipment, making it a carrier with the most intensive voyages and complete service network in Asia. (BCM)

Offering complete network services, Wan Hai has 66 full container vessels with a capacity of over 90,000 TEUs. (BCM)
