Wan Hai Lines announced plans to introduce a new direct shipping service between Haiphong, South China, and West India beginning late-November 2026. The service, called the China India Service 8 (CI8), will bolster the company's presence in the Indian market and offer customers more dependable and convenient maritime transportation options.
The CI8 service will utilize vessels ranging in size from 2,800 to 3,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEU). With a round-trip schedule of 35 days, the ships will follow a specific path: departing from Haiphong, stopping at Qinzhou, Nansha, Shekou, Port Klang (Northport), Mundra, Nhava Sheva, and then returning to Port Klang (Northport) before completing the circuit back to Haiphong.
By incorporating the CI8 service into its current network, Wan Hai Lines aims to improve connectivity and make shipping more convenient between key markets in Vietnam, South China, Malaysia, and West India. The introduction of this new service aligns with the company's ongoing commitment to bolstering its position in the Indian market and expanding its intra-Asia service network.
Through reliable and efficient shipping solutions and a broad regional network, Wan Hai Lines intends to maintain high service standards and cater to the diverse transportation requirements of its clients.
