Chennai , Oct. 4

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd will start a new container service linking Chennai and Singapore Straits to meet the rising demand for cargo transport in India.

The first vessel - MOL Karina — in the Singapore-Chennai Express service will depart from Singapore on October 10 to Chennai. In the return direction, the vessel would leave the city on October 16, according to sources.

The Japanese line will offer this new service through joint operation with Singapore-based Sea Consortium Pte using one container ship provided by each company.

Fastest service

The new service will bring one of the fastest services from Japan to Chennai by linking to MOL's Japan/Straits service. This new service will also connect to MOL's worldwide service at Singapore.

The port rotation in the new service would be Penang (Friday/Saturday), Singapore (Sunday/Monday), Port Kelang (Tuesday/Wednesday), Chennai (Sunday/Monday) and Penang (Friday/Saturday).
