Hamburg Sud, the German shipping line, is launching a new container service connecting China and Southeast Asia with India and Pakistan with simultaneous sailings from Port Kelang and Shanghai.
The shipping line has restructured its EPIC service, in partnership with Hapag-Lloyd, another German line.
The EPIC service currently covers the trade route between Northern Europe, the Mediterranean and West Asia, India and Pakistan. The Indian ports covered are Mundra and Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT).
The new weekly fixed-day service will comprise two slings, providing direct connections between mainland China, Hong Kong, and the Indian sub-continent.
The port rotation for sling one is Shanghai-Ningbo-Hong Kong- Singapore-Port Kelang–NSICT-Port Kelang–Singapore–Hong Kong –Shanghai.
For sling two, the port rotation is Port Kelang–Singapore–Colombo–Karachi–Mundra-Tuticorin-Port Kelang.
The new service is expected to provide good onward connections to Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Coast of South America.
