MSC unveils new service to connect key ports in China and India

The world’s largest container line MSC adds a new inter-Asia service, called Shikra, between major ports in China and India.

The new Shikra service will be operated solely by MSC and is named after the small bird of prey that inhabits much of Southeast Asia and India.

Starting with MSC Mara on voyage QS321A, with an estimated time of arrival at Qingdao port on 23 May, the rotation will be as follows:

Qingdao (China) – Shanghai (China) – Ningbo (China)– Kaohsiung (Taiwan) – Shekou (China) – Singapore – Colombo (Sri Lanka) – Nhava Sheva (India) – Mundra (India) – Colombo (Malaysia) – Port Klang – Singapore – Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia) – Vung Tau (Vietnam) – Qingdao
