Samudera Shipping Line received the 1,740-TEU Sinar Sumba from Guangzhou before its maiden deployment from Hong Kong in its new Korea-China-Malaysia service (KMS) this month.

The US$83 million Sinar Sumba was put into service with another vessel and will help the shipping group to attain its long term strategy of providing flexibility in fleet deployment and stability in overall vessel operating costs, said a company statement.

The delivery of the second of the two 1,740-TEU ships is expected towards the end of the year, said a Samudera statement.
