Yang Ming-OOCL China-India loop drops Mumbai, Pipava in favour of Mundra
THE China-Pakistan-India (CPX) service that is jointly operated by Yang Ming Marine Transport and OOCL will now go to Mundra and discontinue calls at Pipavav and Mumbai's Nhava Sheva ports.
The changes to the port rotation of the CPX follow Yang Ming's move to purchase slots on the Central China-India (CCI) service operated by OOCL, RCL, X-Press Feeders and Hamburg Sud.
The revised rotation of the CPX service is now Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen-Shekou, Singapore, Karachi, Mundra, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong and back to Shanghai.
The CPX uses five vessels ranging in size from 3,700-4,600 TEU.
Alphaliner said that Yang Ming has also stopped taking slots on the China-South East Asia-Nhava Sheva Express (NCS/NCX) service provided by OOCL, MOL and Samudera.
