MALAYSIA's MISC Berhad has announced the launch of a new service that will link Asia and South Africa in March.

"MISC has upgraded the South African organisation and the next step is to add improved coverage of the ASEAN market connectivity to South Africa," said an MISC statement.

With a new call at Tanjung Pelepas, the service will provide more capacity with further details to be announced next month.

Despite the recent termination of MISC's involvement with the "K" Line-Pacific International Lines (PIL) service on the route, the Malaysian carrier expects to continue cooperation with its former associates through slot-charter deals.

The surviving service deploys seven vessels on the following rotation: Shanghai, Ningbo, Kaohsiung, Shenzhen (Shekou), Hong Kong, Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas, Durban, Cape Town, Port Kelang, Tanjung Pelepas, Singapore, Hong Kong, and back to Shanghai.
