SHARJAH / WAM
Gulftainer, a privately owned independent port operator, welcomed the MV Port Klang from Sunmarine Shipping Services on a maiden call at its gateway flagship Sharjah Container Terminal (SCT).
The vessel is one of the shipping group’s fastest services between the Indian subcontinent and the UAE.
The MV Port Klang offers the fastest direct express service between Sharjah’s Port Khalid and the Kandla, Hazira and Nhava Sheva ports in India with only three days’ transit time from the last port in India to Sharjah.
Peter Richards, Group CEO of Gulftainer, said, “Receiving one of the fastest ships on Arabian Gulf India route demonstrates SCT’s strategic position as a prominent gateway port for
the region.â€
