Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) will launch a new direct shipping link between China, Singapore, Pakistan and India from 17 January. Five 1,200 TEU vessels will be deployed on the service, which will be jointly operated with Yang Ming Line.
The 35-day round-trip port rotation will be: Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou,
Singapore, Karachi, Mundra, Penang, Port Kelang, Singapore, Hong Kong
and Shanghai.
The new China Pakistan Express (CPX) service will upgrade OOCL’s routes
from an existing transship service from Singapore to a direct service
from China to Pakistan and Mundra. The CPX service aims to reduce
transit times between China and the Indian Subcontinent.
