DA CHAN BAY Terminal One in the western Shenzhen port area has received a maiden call on the China-India service (NCX) jointly operated by MOL and Samudera.
The NCX service is also MOL's first direct service linking Shanghai and Shenzhen to Nhava Sheva, after its Singapore Mumbai-Nhava Sheva Karachi service was split into two loops.
MOL deploys three ships while Samudera deploys one on the NCX service, with the carrying capacity ranging from 2,000 to 2,700 TEU.
The terminal operator's chief executive officer Andrew Milliken said: "The fact that an ever-increasing number of customers choose to partner with Da Chan Bay Terminal One for their business expansion in South China confirms the competitive advantages offered by our strategic location in this prime manufacturing hub. We are confident our partnership with customers will continue to deepen and broaden, with our first-class efficiency, professionalism and flexibility."
The new China-India service provides weekly calls at Da Chan Bay Terminal One every Sunday, on a port rotation of: Shanghai, Shenzhen-Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong, Singapore, Nhava Sheva, Port Kelang, Singapore and back to Shanghai.
