Doha, Qatar: Qatar Ports Management Company (Mwani Qatar), in association with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), has announced the inauguration of the new weekly shipping line connecting Hamad Port directly to ports on the Indian subcontinent, the Red Sea, and the Western Mediterranean region.
The development will help meet the growing demand of Qatar's export market, as the new MSC line will contribute to enhancing trade exchange via connections to worldwide destinations.
Besides maritime connectivity, the new shipping line offers fast and cost-effective transit, reducing the time it takes to get ships from these ports.
Hamad Port, one of the largest ports in the Middle East, has ranked 8th in the world on the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) for 2022, according to Mwani Qatar.
"The index issued by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence reflects the port's high-quality operations, as it measures the time needed by ships to complete loading and unloading tasks, confirming the high capabilities of the port."
