1 November 2024 – China United Shipping has launched its inaugural voyage to Aden Container Terminal, establishing direct routes between Port of Aden and ports in China and the Red Sea. This makes China United the fourth major carrier this year to initiate direct service to Aden, connecting it with key ports in Southeast Asia, China, the Arabian Gulf, and the Red Sea.
Direct routes by Chinese shipping companies to Aden have contributed to lowering sea freight costs by reducing transit times and operational expenses.
The management of Aden Ports Development Company, represented by Chairman Dr. Mohammed Amzerba and Mr. Aref Al-Shabi, General Manager of the Container Terminal, welcomed China United to the roster of shipping lines now serving the Port of Aden.
