Haldia Dock Complex (HDC) is set to open a new chapter in regional trade with the launch of a direct container vessel service to Chittagong, a long-awaited demand of the EXIM trade community.
CJ DARCL, represented in India by Everett India Pvt Ltd, will operate the service, with the maiden vessel scheduled to call at HDC on August 30, 2025.
The new route is expected to significantly enhance trade efficiency by offering seamless connectivity, faster turnaround, and greater opportunities for bilateral trade between India and Bangladesh.
Officials at HDC have urged the EXIM community to extend their support and ensure the success of this strategic service, which is poised to boost the competitiveness of regional logistics.
