Wan Hai Lines announced that it will expand further on its already extensive Asia and East India network by launching a new weekly service between South China – Vietnam and East India (CI7).

In a statement, the Taiwan-based shipping company said the service will be operated by four container vessels with a capacity of 1,200 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU).

The independent CI7 Express Service will follow the Haiphong – Zhanjiang – Nansha - Cat Lai - Port Klang North Port – Chennai – Vizag - Port Klang North Port - Haiphong port rotation.

Wan Hai said the first voyage is scheduled from Haiphong on March 27.

"The CI7 service, which connects South China- Vietnam – East India directly will provide clients with better transit time and more service options. It will also strengthen Wan Hai Lines' current services to better serve customers' needs," the shipping line said.
