MSC Further Connects Asia Middle East Trade with New Clanga Service

08/08/2024

We are delighted to announce that we are launching a new standalone service, Clanga, as part of our continued commitment to provide an expansive network of direct port pair connectivity to mitigate challenges of port congestion in the Middle East.

This new service will provide competitive transit times for Asia - Middle East cargoes and further boost trade connectivity between China, Singapore and Saudi Arabia via a call in Ad Dammam. Furthermore, Clanga will offer a unique and competitive service for Saudi exports to the Far East through its direct call in Shanghai from Ad Dammam.

The Clanga service will commence Week 35 and the rotation will be the following:

Shanghai - Ningbo - Shekou - Singapore - Ad Dammam - Shanghai

Additionally, to optimize our network the rotation of our New Falcon service will be adjusted Week 34. As such, we will omit Ad Dammam and add a call in Nansha.

This will result in the following rotation:

Tianjin Xingang - Busan - Qingdao - Shanghai - Ningbo - Xiamen - Nansha - Shekou - Singapore - Jebel Ali - Abu Dhabi - Hamad - Umm Qasr - Abu Dhabi - Tianjin Xingang

Should you have any questions, please contact your local MSC representatives in our global network of 675 offices.
