During the 1990s, China Navigation’s liner trades expanded rapidly, but the focus of management activity moved away from its head office in Hong Kong. Management of New Guinea Pacific Line [NGPL] moved from Hong Kong- via a three-year joint venture with Bank Line and Columbus Line in Singapore – to be consolidated with that of Chief Container Service [CCS] in the Swire Shipping Offices in Sydney in 1993. With the initiation of a trans-Tasman service in 1999, Swire in Sydney became a natural focus for management of this trade too.
CCS consisted of three partners, Papua New Guinea Shipping Corporation on behalf of PNG Government, New Guinea Australia Line and Australia West Pacific Line.
