APL LAUNCHES SERVICE BETWEEN INDIA/PAKISTAN AND EUROPE

APL has launched its India Pakistan Europe service, a weekly connection between the South Asian markets of India and Pakistan and major ports in Europe.

 

“Europe is a premier trading partner and a major export market of South Asian countries.” said Eric Eng, head of Asia Europe trade at APL. “It is opportune that we expand our service coverage in Asia-Europe through the new IPE service, directly linking the major economies of India and Pakistan to Europe. As APL offers market connectivity, our priorities are also to provide reliable and timely cargo shipments across all regions.”

 

The port rotation will be: Port Qasim – Nhava Sheva – Hazira – Mundra – Jeddah – Djibouti – Southampton – Rotterdam – Antwerp – Felixstowe – Le Havre.

 

The first eastbound service will be on October 1, 2016 from Southampton, while the first westbound service will be on October 4, 2016 from Port Qasim, according to APL.
