Conducting Market Research in India and Deepening the Layout

During this visit to India, Chairman Raymond Chen and his team also met with several key local partners in the port, shipping, and logistics sectors, including All Cargo Group, JM Baxi, Parekh Marine, BMCT, and Adani Terminals. Through in-depth discussions, they gained valuable insights into the latest trends in market demand, port operations, logistics supply chains, and shipping-related services in India, which will support the company's strategic development in the region.

As a major global economy, India holds immense market potential. CULines began offering services to India as early as 2015. After nearly a decade of dedicated efforts, the company has successfully operated multiple routes connecting China, Southeast Asia, and West Asia to India, including CIS and VGX. Notably, the launch of the India-Middle East-Red Sea (IMR) regional route in the fourth quarter of last year has opened a new trade corridor for customers. CULines will continue to invest resources to optimize its route network, adhering to the philosophy of " doing good business and building good friendships." Together with its new India agent and partners, CULines is committed to providing customers with more efficient and high-quality logistics solutions, injecting vitality into regional shipping development.
