Sharjah Container Terminal receives UASC Ajman

Abu Dhabi: Gulftainer, a privately owned, terminal operating and logistics company, welcomed at the Sharjah Container Terminal (SCT) the UASC Ajman on its maiden call on UASC’s Gulf India Service.

The new service will connect Sharjah with Sohar in Oman, Mundra in India and Karachi in Pakistan, the company said in a statement.

Calling weekly with two vessels, the Gulf-India service also includes the UASC Sitrah, which is due to arrive at SCT on Sunday, September 28.

Iain Rawlinson, Group Commercial Director of Gulftainer, said: “The addition of this service is a significant development for Sharjah in strengthening trade links with India and Pakistan, two of the largest trading partners of the UAE. It will meet the requirements of our customers who have been looking for such a link. This will undoubtedly lead to even more growth for our home terminals in the coming year.”
