NLC and DP World have shipped more than 1,000 containers between Pakistan and Bangladesh since launching the first direct shipping route between the two countries in October, a strategic initiative that will significantly strengthen trade and regional connectivity in South Asia.
A new container service will commence between Karachi and Jebel Ali, with the first NLC vessel, boasting a capacity of 1,100 TEUs, set to launch on January 13. The second vessel, also with a capacity of 1,100 TEUs, will be inducted by the end of January.
Additionally, an edible oil vessel is slated for February 2025, further diversifying the scope of this collaborative effort.
This strategic venture signifies the beginning of a transformative phase in regional trade. The collaboration between NLC and regional partner is not merely a logistics operation but a cornerstone of a comprehensive roadmap aimed at strengthening economic growth, promoting shared prosperity, and accelerating progress across the region.
