Interasia Lines Ltd.

Interasia Lines

Interasia Lines was established in Tokyo, Japan, in 1967. As a pioneer in the container shipping industry, the company is dedicated to providing reliable containerized maritime transport services across Asia. Interasia takes pride in its status as one of the region's long-standing container shipping operators. While historically focused on services connecting Japan to Singapore and Malaysia, the company has expanded its scope in recent years to include Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, and South Korea, with ongoing expansion into other regions. Interasia is driven by the conviction that it must actively broaden its service scope and offer comprehensive solutions while maintaining consistent and reliable service quality.

Interasia Lines (IAL) was founded in Tokyo, Japan, in September 1967. In July 2012, the company established "Shenzhen Interasia International Shipping Agency Co., Ltd." to serve as its general agent for South China, covering major ports across the country. Its primary routes span Asia—including Japan/South Korea, Singapore/Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Indochina Peninsula, and India—and the company offers ample capacity for refrigerated and special containers. Branch offices were subsequently established in Shanghai, Xiamen, and Guangzhou between 2013 and 2014. Interasia Lines operates routes serving key ports across China and maintains a network of branches and agencies throughout Asia; this dense service network has enabled the company to fully realize an integrated model of "networked marketing and unified service." IAL specializes in intra-Asia and Southeast Asia shipping routes, covering locations such as China, South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Brazil, supported by an extensive network of agents in Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Shenzhen

Interasia continues to deepen its presence in the Chinese market. Starting in South China, the company initially collaborated with local agencies before establishing its Shenzhen branch in 2012. Building on its success in Shenzhen, Interasia established branch offices in Shanghai and Xiamen in 2013, followed by a Guangzhou branch in 2014. In addition to deepening its presence in the South China market, the company opened branches in Qingdao and Ningbo in 2016, further strengthening its service network across China.

Hong Kong

As one of the world's busiest shipping hubs, Hong Kong is a key port in Interasia's service network. SITC Shipping (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. serves as Interasia's general agent in the region. Please contact Interasia for any import or export requirements, and a dedicated representative will assist you.

India

India is increasingly significant in the global economy and has become a key market for Interasia's customers. Interasia partners with Aissa Maritime Private Limited in India. With operations covering major cities and maritime hubs across the country, Aissa Maritime enables Interasia to provide comprehensive import and export services.

Interasia aims to further expand its service scope through the ICI route.

Originally established in Tokyo in September 1967 as Nichinankaiun Co., Ltd., the company was renamed Yunda Shipping in 1969, providing both scheduled and non-scheduled maritime transport services.

In terms of transaction volume, Japan remains Yunda’s most important market. The company has established branches in Tokyo and Osaka and, in recent years, has signed agency agreements at ports across the country to deepen its presence in the domestic market and expand services to new ports, thereby increasing service coverage. Yunda remains committed to developing the Japanese market and is optimistic that it will serve as a cornerstone for the company's continued growth.

South Korea

After collaborating with local agencies for several years, Yunda fulfilled its commitment to the South Korean market by establishing a local branch in Seoul at the end of 2015; the company maintains great confidence in this market.

Yunda’s South Korea office provides comprehensive services. In addition to the Seoul office, the company has established a professional service team in Busan to enhance service coverage. Please feel free to contact Yunda directly regarding any import or export needs involving South Korea.

Malaysia

Yunda entered the Malaysian market in 1993 and has since established three offices in the country. The Port Klang office serves as the main hub, offering a full range of services, while additional business offices operate in Penang and Johor. As many service routes utilize Malaysia as a transshipment hub or destination port, it has become one of Yunda’s key markets; the company believes Malaysia will play a vital role in its service network moving forward.

Myanmar

Yunda has collaborated with Fortune Shipping Company Limited in Yangon, Myanmar, for fifteen years. Leveraging Fortune Shipping’s extensive local experience, Yunda has achieved steady growth in its shuttle services connecting Yangon with Singapore and Malaysia.

Fortune Shipping’s team members possess extensive local market experience, enabling them to provide customers with prompt and tailored services.

Singapore

Established in 1993, Fortune Shipping Singapore remains a key regional hub and one of the company's primary offices. The company has long operated trade routes between Singapore and Yangon; in addition to standard network services, it runs shuttle services connecting Singapore, Malaysia, and Yangon. The Singapore team’s deep local market expertise ensures the delivery of optimal solutions to customers.

Taiwan

Fortune Shipping established a branch in Taipei in 2011, followed by branches in Taichung and Kaohsiung in 2012. By setting up offices in these key hubs for import and export trade, the company is better positioned to provide comprehensive maritime shipping services to its customers. As the Taiwan market continues to grow steadily—serving as a vital link in Fortune Shipping’s intra-Asia service network—the company remains committed to maintaining Taiwan as a key operational base.
