Middle East Shipping Company enters the Chinese market

The Chinese market is attracting more and more new participants in the container liner industry. Asyad Line, a shipping company based in Oman, recently announced that it will enter the Chinese market. Asyad Line will open FEX1, the first new container route connecting the Far East, West Indies and Southeast Asia.

It is reported that the FEX1 route is named "Far East Express One", and the first ship is scheduled to call at Mondra Port on March 30th, and it is expected to make its maiden voyage in Shekou, Shenzhen in April, which marks the first time that Asyad Line has opened a container route directly calling China.

Since its establishment in 2020, Asyad Line has shown a rapid expansion trend. Its predecessor was Oman Container Lines (OCL), and two years after its establishment, it set up its first overseas branch in Singapore as an important step in expanding its business portfolio in the Asian market. The fleet operated by the company includes various types of ships, with a total deadweight tonnage of 8 million tons.

With the change of global trade pattern, the import demand of Far East to India continues to increase, which promotes the trend of trade diversification. Under this background, Asyad Line's entry into the Chinese market not only injects new impetus into its own development, but also provides new convenience for the trade between China and India.

The opening of FEX1 route on Asyad Line will further strengthen the trade links between China and India and promote the diversification and stability of the supply chain. At the same time, it also reflects the important position of the Chinese market in global trade and attracts more and more shipping enterprises to develop. 

中东船司进军中国市场

       中国市场正吸引着越来越多集装箱班轮业的新参与者。近日，总部位于阿曼的船公司Asyad Line宣布将进军中国市场。Asyad Line将开通首条连接远东、西印度和东南亚的集装箱新航线FEX1。

       据悉，FEX1航线被命名为“Far East Express One”，首航船定于3月30日在蒙德拉港挂靠，预计四月份将在深圳蛇口实现首航，这标志着Asyad Line首次开通直接挂靠中国的集装箱航线。

       Asyad Line自2020年成立以来，便展现出快速扩张的态势。其前身为Oman Container Lines (OCL)，成立两年后便在新加坡设立了首个海外分公司，作为其在亚洲市场扩展业务组合的重要一步。该公司运营的船队包括多种类型的船舶，总载重吨位达到800万吨。

       随着全球贸易格局的变化，远东对印度的进口需求持续增长，推动了贸易多元化的趋势。在这种背景下，Asyad Line进军中国市场，不仅为其自身发展注入了新的动力，也为中国与印度等地区的贸易往来提供了新的便利。

       此次Asyad Line开通FEX1航线，将进一步加强中国与印度等地区的贸易联系，促进供应链的多元化和稳定性。同时，这也反映出中国市场在全球贸易中的重要地位，吸引着越来越多的航运企业前来发展。
