Asyad Line, a leading Omani container shipping company, is set to launch a brand new service catering to the growing trade between the Far East and West India. Dubbed the Far East Express One (FEX1), this service will offer efficient and direct connections for businesses looking to import and export goods between key Asian markets.

Strategic Port Calls: The FEX1 route strategically includes stops in major ports across China (including major manufacturing hubs), Vietnam (Haiphong), Thailand (Laem Chabang), Malaysia (Port Klang), and India (Mundra, Hazira, and Nhava Sheva). This comprehensive network allows businesses to enjoy seamless cargo movement across the region.

Asyad Line promises swift and reliable deliveries. Estimated faster transit times from Mundra, India to various destinations

• Haiphong, Vietnam: 13 days
• Shekou, China: 15 days
• Laem Chabang, Thailand: 20 days
• Port Klang, Malaysia: 24 days

Capitalizing on India’s Growth: The launch of FEX1 comes at an opportune time. India’s demand for raw materials and semi-finished goods is surging due to manufacturing expansion. This trend, driven by trade diversification efforts, is creating a strong need for robust and efficient shipping connections between India and key Far Eastern production centers.

Enhanced Intra-Asia Connectivity: Asyad Line is not alone in recognizing this potential. Several niche intra-Asia carriers, including SeaLead Shipping, TS Lines, Sinotrans, SITC, and established players like Pacific International Lines (PIL), Evergreen Marine, and Regional Container Lines (RCL), are all expanding their intra-Asia networks connecting to India. Additionally, major shipping lines like French carrier CMA CGM have launched services like the Asia Subcontinent Express 2 (AS2) to cater to this growing trade lane.

The FEX1 service by Asyad Line provides businesses with a reliable and efficient option for their Far East-West India shipping needs. With its strategic port calls, competitive transit times, and alignment with India’s economic growth, FEX1 is poised to become a significant player in the intra-Asia trade landscape.
