Sinotrans expands China–India network with new CIW2 service

Sinotrans has expanded its network between China and India by taking slots on the CSX/CI8 service operated by Emirates Shipping and Evergreen.

Sinotrans will market the service as CIW2, adding a new connection between key ports in China, Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and India.

The service is operated by six vessels with an average capacity of around 6,000 TEU.

The port rotation is:

Qingdao – Xiamen – Nansha – Shenzhen (Dachan) – Port Klang – Colombo – Nhava Sheva – Mundra – Port Klang – Qingdao.

The new CIW2 offering strengthens Sinotrans’ coverage of the China–India trade and provides additional access to major regional transshipment hubs.
