To further strengthen its service network along the Belt and Road Initiative, CU LINES launches the India-Middle East-Red Sea (IMR) service. This new service will include additional feeder connections from Jeddah to Aqaba and Port Sudan, expanding CULines’ reach and improving regional connectivity.
The IMR service is an outer-loop service that links mainline ports such as Jeddah, Jebel Ali, Mundra, and Nhava Sheva, along with important feeder ports such as Djibouti and Aden. With the addition of feeder services from Jeddah to Aqaba and Port Sudan, CULines’ service network will now cover six key Red Sea ports: Aqaba, Sokhna, Port Sudan, Djibouti, Jeddah, and Aden. This expansion will provide seamless connections with our truck line services departing from China, enabling us to better meet the diverse shipping needs of our customers.
The IMR service is a collaborative operation between CULines, CStar, and UGL, deploying four 1,700 TEU container vessels.
