AAL, Peter Döhle Set Up New Semi-Liner Service

AAL Singapore-based breakbulk, project cargo and heavy lift carrier AAL and Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-LG, a shipping company from Germany, have launched a new service Asia-Middle East-Europe, following up their cooperation on multipurpose tramp solutions.  The joint semi-liner service offers multipurpose heavy lift tonnage and a full-service of chartering, engineering and operations. The route is said to be connecting mature and developing markets with regular fixed-route sailings, flexible port calls and multiple classes of heavy lift MPP vessels. AAL has operated tramp and liner services side-by-side for many years, so we understand the demands of managing regular scheduled services, alongside bespoke chartering solutions.  We operate liner services between Asia NoPac and Asia Australia and two semi–liner trades between Asia USG / USEC and Intra-Asia. These services will soon feature regularly published schedules and departure lists, for easy customer reference, Marc Willim, General Manager of AALs Tramp & Projects Division, explained. We’ve addressed customer demands for a more regular and defined schedule, in combination with present tramp flexibility for off route contracts and requirements, added John Jensen, General Manager of Chartering at Peter Döhle. AAL, a member of Schoeller Holdings, and Peter Döhle started their cooperation in 2015 in order to offer tramp and projects solutions to the global market and new semi-liner services on global trades.
