China United Lines (CULines) is set to launch a new weekly Korea–China–India service (KCI), strengthening its network between Northeast Asia, Western India and Pakistan.

中联航运 will join the existing joint service operated by Global Feeder Shipping, Sinokor Merchant Marine, TS Lines and Regional Container Lines, participating as a vessel provider.

The first CULines sailing is scheduled to depart Busan on 17 July with the MUMBAI BRIDGE. The carrier will subsequently deploy the chartered 6,758-teu RACINE in August.

The six-week rotation will be:
Busan – Gwangyang – Shanghai – Ningbo – Chiwan – Port Klang (Westport) – Nhava Sheva – Mundra – Karachi – Port Klang (Westport) – Busan

The partners will deploy six vessels of between 4,600 teu and 8,000 teu, maintaining a weekly frequency.

The KCI service will complement CULines’ existing HLX Southeast Asia–Western India service and its slot participation on the CIS China–Western India service.
Most importantly, the new loop gives CULines a direct connection from South Korea to Western India and Pakistan, further expanding its presence in one of Asia’s fastest-developing container trade corridors.
