As soon as the HPX service was put into operation, another South Korean feeder operator, Pan Continental Shipping (PanCon Line) announced that it would deploy a vessel owned by itself to increase capacity on the service. BIH service with the Busan-Incheon-Hai Phong route.

Since the BIH service began in late 2015, PanCon Line has purchased slots from fellow feeder operator Namsung Shipping. From 25 August, PanCon Line will deploy the 1,000TEU PanCon Victory to complement Namsung's capacity.
