Nantong Tongzhou Bay launches its first Middle East container shipping route, expanding logistics access from China to the Middle East

Recently, the first foreign trade container route to the Middle East officially set sail at Lüsi Port Area of Nantong Tongzhou Bay, further enriching China’s maritime logistics network linking to the Middle East and opening a new sea lane for foreign trade enterprises.

The new route forms a direct maritime trunk line from East China to the Middle East, cutting transshipment links and shortening transit time for some export cargoes. As a key trading partner of China, the Middle East boasts strong demand for energy, building materials, daily supplies and new material products. Reliable and convenient sea lanes serve as critical support for stable cross-border trade.

With growing purchasing potential in the Middle East market, this new route offers more logistics options for exporters in the Yangtze River Delta, helping optimize supply chains and reduce cross-border logistics costs.

Improved port and shipping infrastructure continuously boosts cargo circulation efficiency between China and the Middle East. We keep track of global shipping updates. Supported by the maturing global logistics network, we can better guarantee order delivery, provide steady and efficient product supply for Middle Eastern buyers, and deepen economic and trade cooperation with partners across the region.
