The joint Far East–India service operated by Emirates, Evergreen, Gold Star and KMTC is set for restructuring, with the current cooperation model being split into two separate service arrangements, according to Alphaliner.
Under the changes, Gold Star Line will partner with Global Feeder Shipping on a redesigned NIX service, while the remaining partners will continue operations under the renamed CSX2/CIX3/AIS3 network.
The new NIX service will be operated with five vessels averaging around 5,000 TEU and will connect Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen (Da Chan), Port Klang, Nhava Sheva, Hazira, Mundra, Port Klang and Hai Phong before returning to Shanghai.
Meanwhile, the revised CSX2/CIX3/AIS3 service operated by Emirates Shipping Line, Evergreen Marine Corporation and KMTC will deploy six vessels averaging approximately 7,500 TEU.
The revised service rotation will cover Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen (Shekou), Port Klang, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Port Klang and return to Shanghai.
The restructuring reflects continued adjustments in carrier partnerships and network deployment strategies across the Far East–India trade corridor as operators seek greater flexibility and efficiency.
