The new service
According to Arabian Business, Emirates Shipping Line has launched a route connecting UAE ports with several destinations in China. Direct calls at Shanghai, Shenzhen and Qingdao give businesses in both countries a faster, more reliable link.
Why it matters
Trade between the UAE and China keeps growing, as the 19 agreements signed between the two countries show. More direct capacity helps keep transit times predictable and gives shippers more choice when comparing carriers, schedules and rates.
