The service provides direct maritime connectivity between Nhava Sheva and Mundra (India) and Qingdao (China), with Colombo (Sri Lanka) serving as a strategic transshipment node linking Qingdao to the broader Indian Subcontinent.  

Vessel rotation (weekly):  

Nhava Sheva → Mundra → Colombo → Qingdao → Nhava Sheva  

Transit time from Nhava Sheva to Qingdao is approximately 23 days.  

Designed to strengthen regional trade integration, the CIX8 service supports growing containerized cargo flows among India’s major gateway ports, Sri Lanka’s premier transshipment hub, and one of China’s largest container terminals—enhancing schedule reliability, port coverage, and multimodal linkage opportunities across the region.
