RCL Palembang Express (RPE) will commence Singapore-Palembang-Singapore, on a 5-days rolling schedule basis using Ati Bhum (388TEU); while RCL Pasir Gudang Service (RPS) will be making a twice-weekly call into Pasir Gudang using current Anu Bhum (189TEU).

Service integrity
Mr. Charlie Chu, EVP of Business said, “Service integrity plays a vital role in the shipping industry. When RPS was calling Pasir Gudang and Palembang using the same ship, we were faced with challenges, keeping her on proforma. In order to rectify this issue, we made an investment to run Pasir Gudang and Palembang loops separately.”
“The decision was made to provide a more reliable service and meet our customers’ demand to grow in Pasir Gudang and Palembang corridor,” added Mr. Charlie Chu.
