Trans Asian Shipping Services Ltd a subsidiary of Trans Asian Shipping Services Ltd based has launched a new vessel MV Karuthal.

The 94 TEU capacity Karuthal flagged in St Kitts and Nevis is a multipurpose container vessel built this year at a cost of USD 3 million. The ship is to be deployed by the Trans Asian Group and is currently scheduled to operate in the Middle East Gulf.

The vessel can operate in small ports the world over, thus extending the reach of containerised sea transportation to a far more number of ports than the traditional container ports existing and operating.
