The new Bengal Service will take a maximum of 15 days to reach Chattogram from China which is half of the existing sailing time.
As China is the major raw material sourcing point for the Bangladeshi garment and textile sector, this new service will create a huge positive impact on overall manufacturing and export lead time for Bangladeshi exporters.
MSC Kymea will sail from Hong Kong on April 27 and is expected to arrive at Chattogram on May 11. Under the service, vessels will sail from Hong Kong and connect with Yantian and Shekou in Southern China before calling on Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas ahead of their arrival in Chattogram
