OOCL introduced a direct call to the port of Umm Qasr in their Middle East Service 4 (ME4) product, effective from August 6 with the fist sailing in Shanghai.

The new ME4 port rotation will be as follows:
Shanghai – Ningbo – Taipei – Shekou – Tanjung Pelepas – Port Kelang – Jebel Ali – Umm Qasr – Jebel Ali – Port Kelang – Hong Kong – Shanghai.
