New Pacific Line

In the beginning New Pacific Line (Newpac) was incorporated in 2002 as a dedicated liner service between Asia and the Pacific Islands. In its earlier days, it was predominantly involved with the carriage of breakbulk cargo such as regular cement contracts between Philippines and the South Pacific Islands. Schedules and ports were invariably dictated by incentive calls. In 2006, Newpac was acquired by Schoeller Holdings Group. Since then, the company had refocused and concentrated on providing a more reliable schedule, and accepting breakbulk, project and containerized cargo. Newpac managed and operated its services from Auckland.

Relocation of Regional Office

Following restructuring within the Group, the Auckland Regional Head Office was relocated to Singapore. The Group had long recognized the attraction and value Singapore can offer as an international maritime center and major hub.

In September 2009, New Pacific Line Pte Ltd was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary company in Singapore, taking over the Regional Head Office responsibilities from Auckland. The new office is located at Suntec Tower Two where some of the other Schoeller Holdings Group subsidiaries, such as Austral Asia Line, Horixon Shipping Agencies, and Columbia Shipmanagement, are located.

At the center of growing Asian markets

Having re-positioned ourselves as a premier container, general and project liner service provider, the move to Singapore placed Newpac strategically closer to the fast growing markets in Asia. We are focused on direct and closer contacts with our customers. Schedule integrity is another key Newpac service factor.

Niche market player

Newpac operates in niche markets between North and SE Asia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) the South Pacific with 3x1700 teus high specification containerships. We offer a two loop North Asia fortnightly service calling Hong Kong, PRC (Shanghai), Papua New Guinea (Port Moresby, Lae, Madang and Rabaul), Solomon Island (Honiara), New Caledonia (Noumea) and Fiji (Lautoka and Suva). In addition, we also offer a SE Asia - Papua New Guinea service on a fortnightly basis.

Partnership with feeders

Through partnerships with several reliable feeder operators, Newpac is able to accept cargo to/from ports which are not direct main port calls. Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai serve as main hubs for Asia, Europe and USA while Lae and Suva are hubs for the Pacific Islands. Within the scheduled main port calls, Newpac is always able to consider direct inducement calls.

Acceptance of COC and SOC

Newpac operates a young fleet of leased General Purpose standard and high cube containers as well as flat-racks. The fleet has been gradually increasing to cater for the growing COC volumes. We also welcome bookings for Shipper's Own Containers (SOCs) from Main Line Operators, Nvoccs and other container owners.
