DP World Chennai has hosted the launch of Simatech Shipping L.L.C’s Chennai Colombo Gulf service (CCG Service) which will link South & East India to Arabian Gulf & East Africa trans-shipping at Jebel Ali. The service commenced on Feb. 14 with MV Sima Perfect making the maiden call.
The CCG service is a milestone for both DP World Chennai & Simatech Shipping. This service is a unique service to Gulf.
Simatech owns and operates three vessels namely Sima Perfect, Sima Prestige and Sima Sapphire by offering a weekly fixed sailing from Chennai. The weekly service will be calling Chennai every Friday and sailing out on Saturday.
On the inaugural service, Sima Perfect carried export boxes to Colombo & Jebel Ali. The major commodities carried by this service comprise garments, granite, food-stuff, seafood and general cargo.
The new service will have a direct, dedicated and fast coverage from Chennai to Arabian Gulf. The CCG service will deploy 3 x 1200 TEU capacity vessels and operate with the following port rotation: Chennai – Colombo – Cochin – Jebel Ali – Cochin – Colombo – Chennai.
This service also offers an efficient and fast feeder link via Jebel Ali into the entire Arabian Gulf region and China, Bangladesh and Pakistan via Colombo. Customers in Arabian Gulf have a reliable connection for importing fruit pulp, minerals, granite products, garments and general cargo and for East African customers automobiles, pharma goods and chemicals.
On the return leg chemicals, scrap and boards from Gulf region and from East Africa groundnuts, coffee and machinery spares would be carried.
To commemorate the launch of this service, a function was held on board the vessel. The function was graced by Mr. Atulya Misra, Chairman, Chennai Port Trust; Mr. Ennarasu Karunesan, CEO & Director, DP World Chennai; Mr. T.
