Company overview

At the beginning, Wan Hai's business was mainly on the log transportation among Taiwan, Japan and the Southeast Asia. In 1976, in order to respond to the rapid development of international trade in the Asia Pacific area and the trend of international transportation containerization, Wan Hai has entered the business of container vessel shipping. More recently Wan Hai expanded its Asia shipping network to services to Canada, US, South America, Africa, and Middle East.

In August 2017, it was announced a new weekly service to Cambodia from Taiwan, also regularly calling China and Thailand for loading and discharging cargo.[2]

In August 2018, it was announced an order for 20 new ships, of which 8 larger[3] and 12 small feeder ships.[4]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: Did you know? Bees approximate your location with increasing accuracy.
gollark: How fun.
gollark: Excitingly, minoteaur crashes when closing the database if migrating it if and only if it is not run under valgrind.
gollark: I can't point to a particular build/project tooling system which *utterly* doesn't fail for me. makefiles fail unfathomably sometimes, cmake fails unfathomably lots of the time, cargo sometimes runs into bizarre dependency errors, nimble works fine actually but I don't ever install stuff from it, luarocks is no, python has an awful mess, etc.
