We are pleased to announce the unveiling of our latest service Safina. This marks a significant advancement in our service provision between the Far East and Middle East. We have merged our existing Arabian Star and Arabian Express services into a single, integrated loop - the new Safina Service.

This integration will further elevate our service capabilities in both directions between the Far East and the Middle East, especially in the Arabian Gulf markets. Notably, we will establish direct calls from key locations in the Far East, including Ningbo, Shanghai, and Shekou, directly into Jebel Ali. This change aims to offer seamless connectivity and improved access to these crucial trade routes.
