The story

Inside Wan Hai

Wan Hai Lines, founded in 1965, is Taiwan’s intra-Asia champion, long dominant in the dense short-sea networks that knit the region’s economies together.

In recent years Wan Hai has extended into long-haul transpacific services and ordered larger vessels, broadening from a regional feeder role toward deep-sea trades.
