Dubai-based Transworld Feeders ceremonially kicked off its newest Feeder service on the Colombo-Chittagong sector with the 1,684 TEU Mv. ‘OEL Shasta’ at the Colombo International Container Terminals (CICT) of the Port of Colombo recently.

This new feeder service, named as Bangladesh Sri Lanka (BSL) service, is set to help the route more Chittagong volumes through the Port of Colombo, which are currently moving via ports in Singapore and Malaysia, thereby boosting Colombo’s status as a key maritime hub in the region.
