The extra loader Northern Fortune will run on a singular round trip starting in Singapore on October 9 and ending in Singapore on November 14 before the vessel is phased in into its regular liner service.

The vessel's port rotation will be: Singapore-Pusan-Shanghai-Chiwan-Singapore-Port Kelang-Khorfakkan-Karachi-Port Kelang-Singapore.

Hans-Hermann Mohr, CEO of Senator Lines GmbH, says that, "'the extra loader is an excellent way of promptly reacting to the latest market developments and of matching additional shipping capacity with cargo volumes which normally peak during the autumn months. By offering Senator Lines' customers this additional service and enhanced flexibility on one of the routes in demand, we can continue to maintain a high level of customer service to our export shippers."
