Sinokor
SCAC: SKLU
South Korea's largest intra-Asia container line, born from the 1989 first Korea-China liner service.
Sinokor Merchant Marine traces its container business to 1989, when it launched the first Korea-China liner service, three years before Seoul and Beijing established formal diplomatic relations. That early bet on cross-strait trade shaped the company that Seoul-headquartered Sinokor is today: a carrier built around dense Korea, China, and Japan networks rather than east-west deepsea routes.

About Sinokor
Sinokor Merchant Marine traces its container business to 1989, when it launched the first Korea-China liner service, three years before Seoul and Beijing established formal diplomatic relations. That early bet on cross-strait trade shaped the company that Seoul-headquartered Sinokor is today: a carrier built around dense Korea, China, and Japan networks rather than east-west deepsea routes.
The company grew significantly in 2020 by absorbing the container operations of fellow Korean line Heung-A Shipping, a consolidation encouraged after the Hanjin collapse. That deal lifted Sinokor into the top ranks of intra-Asia operators and made it South Korea's second-largest box carrier behind HMM. Alongside containers, Sinokor runs bulk carriers, tankers, and terminal and logistics arms, with a workforce of roughly 5,300 as of 2025.
Its liner network reaches around 60 ports across 16 countries, with named services covering Korea-China, Korea-Japan, Korea-Russia (Far East), broader intra-Asia lanes, and India-Middle East. In March 2026 MSC's SAS Shipping Agencies unit agreed to take a 50 percent stake in Sinokor, sharing joint control with the founding Chung family, a move widely read as MSC's entry into the tanker market through Sinokor's diversified fleet.

Why isn't my Sinokor container updating?
Sinokor tracking reflects what the carrier and vessel feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as vessel departure or discharge) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Sinokor shipments?
Panvaya combines Sinokor's schedule with live vessel position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
