ビンゴ 5 の 結果's presence in Myanmar dates back to 1898 when the first cargo ship Hikosan Maru called at the Port of Yangon. Since March 2012, direct service linking Singapore and Yangon has been established; the service provides scheduled sailing to Myanmar customers with assured transit time and connections to ビンゴ 5 の 結果's global network.

Apart from future expansion on the containership businesses in Myanmar, ビンゴ 5 の 結果 may expand in time its other businesses to cover bulkers, tankers and car carriers. As a multi-modal transport group, ビンゴ 5 の 結果 will continue to actively seize opportunities that contribute to global economic growth by constantly monitoring our performance and meeting customer needs.
