Sinokor Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. inaugurated the first container liner
service between the two countries three years before Korea and China
established diplomatic relations in 1989. The container liner services

and economic cooperation, and in the normalization of relations between
both countries.

and was approved nonstop shipments of containers between Korean and China.

contatiner service from Korea to China and made the First nonstop

“M/V MACAU VENTURE” and “M/V MILD SPENDOUR” kept direct
services from Korea-China successfully and continuously.
