Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) of Hong Kong and Yang Ming Line of Taiwan will launch a new container shipping service to link China, Pakistan and India from January 17.
The new service, the "China Pakistan Express" (CPX), will provide higher frequency and faster transit times by transporting sea freight directly from ports in China to Pakistan and Mundra on India's west coast instead of transhipping it via Singapore.
The port rotation for the new CPX service will be: Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Singapore, Karachi, Mundra, Penang, Port Kelang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, for a 35-day roundtrip.
Five 1,200-TEU containerships will be deployed on the service, which will be jointly operated with Yang Ming.
Yang Ming will also expand its China-Gulf Express (CGX) to include calls in the Persian Gulf so to connect with its Dubai/Umm Qasr, Iraq feeder service DUX.
"CPX and CGX provide a complete, rapid and punctual network in Middle East, Pakistan and Subcontinent area. We believe that our endeavours on service upgrade will gain the trust and shipment from the customers," said a Yang Ming statement.
