en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 26, the maiden voyage ceremony for the "Dalian-Middle East" container ocean route was held at the Dalian Container Terminal, officially launching a new maritime freight corridor connecting Northeast China with the Middle East. The opening of this new route not only fills the gap in direct shipping services from Dalian Port to the Middle East region but also enhances the direct service capacity from Northeast China to the India-Pakistan region.

It is understood that the "Dalian-Middle East" container ocean route is operated through a collaboration between Liaoning Port Group and the world's largest container liner company, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC). The plan is to deploy eight container ships with capacities ranging from 20,000 to 24,000 TEUs, providing direct access to major ports in India, Pakistan, and Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE and Oman. The voyage time is at least 10 days shorter compared to traditional transshipment routes, significantly reducing the comprehensive logistics costs of international trade.

The launch and operation of this route establishes a more convenient and efficient maritime logistics corridor for the export of products from the Northeast hinterland, including grain, chemical products, electromechanical equipment, and automotive parts. It will further promote trade between Northeast China and the Middle East and India-Pakistan regions, empowering and accelerating the development of the export-oriented economy in Northeast China.
