Hong Kong-based container carrier Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) has launched its new Southeast Asia–Indian Subcontinent Service 2 (SIS2), further strengthening trade connectivity between Southeast Asia, China and India.
The new service commenced on 4 June 2026 and provides a direct link between Haiphong, Vietnam, and India’s west coast through Mundra, while enhancing connectivity across key regional hubs including China, Singapore and Hong Kong.
SIS2 Port Rotation:
Qinzhou – Yangpu – Haiphong – Singapore – Mundra – Singapore – Hong Kong – Qinzhou
The service is expected to support growing intra-Asia trade volumes and provide shippers with additional routing options through major transshipment hubs in Singapore and Hong Kong. The direct call at Mundra is set to facilitate cargo movement between Southeast Asia and India, supporting expanding regional manufacturing and supply chain networks.
The launch underscores continued carrier investment in India-linked trade lanes amid rising containerized cargo demand across Asia.
Separately, OOCL recently named its first methanol dual-fuel container vessel, OOCL Wisdom, marking another step in the company’s fleet decarbonization efforts.
