COSCO resumes Far East–Middle East cargo via multi-modal routes
COSCO SHIPPING Lines has announced that, with immediate effect, new bookings for general cargo containers from the Far East to select Middle East destinations have resumed via multi-modal transport.

The countries covered include the United Arab Emirates, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, and Oman.

Transport arrangements are being made subject to available space, regional conditions, and COSCO’s discretion. Local cargo to Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali will be transported via the Bonded Land Bridge through either Khorfakkan or Fujairah Port.

Shipments to Upper Gulf countries will be routed via the Bonded Land Bridge from Khorfakkan or Fujairah Port to Abu Dhabi CSP, where they will connect to COSCO’s feeder network for transshipment to destinations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Iraq. Cargo bound for Oman will be transshipped via Nhava Sheva, India, to Sohar, Oman.

These arrangements and the actual carriage of cargo remain subject to change due to the volatile situation in the Middle East.

In February, the COSCO SHIPPING LIBRA returned to Shanghai Yangshan Port after completing a 106-day maiden voyage covering 27,800 nautical miles.
