Maltrans, CStar Line launch maritime service connecting Chinese ports to Aqaba
AMMAN — The Jordanian Maltrans Group for Shipping Agencies and Customs Clearance on Saturday announced the launch of a new shipping service by international maritime company CStar Line, connecting key Chinese ports with Red Sea destinations, including the Port of Aqaba. This 'strategic' initiative aims to strengthen trade links between the Far East and the Arab region, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Maltrans Group CEO Nabil Khatib said that the new service would initially operate with two voyages per month, utilising a fleet of four ships with capacities ranging from 1,600 to 2,000 TEUs. The shipping route will cover the ports of Ningbo, Shanghai, Guangzhou (Nansha Port), Jeddah, Aqaba, and Sokhna, according to a statement issued by Maltrans. Khatib described the collaboration as a 'significant opportunity' to reinforce Aqaba's position as a regional logistics and maritime shipping hub, providing direct access to critical Asian markets. He added that the service is designed to meet rising regional demand and address service gaps in underserved shipping corridors. The direct connection to Chinese ports, he noted, represents a 'qualitative leap' in the movement of goods to and from the region. 'Appointing Maltrans as the exclusive agent for CStar Line in Aqaba marks a pivotal milestone in enhancing Jordan's role as a key logistics hub in the region,' Khatib said, highlighting the importance of strategic partnerships between local expertise and international shipping lines in creating a more interconnected and efficient maritime sector. Maltrans Group is one of Jordan's leading companies in shipping and customs clearance, with an extensive track record in facilitating import, export, and logistics operations, positioning it as a vital player in both local and global supply chains. CStar Line, headquartered in Dubai, is a fast-growing shipping company expanding its footprint across global maritime networks. The company currently operates 17 shipping routes connecting ports in Asia, Turkey, Russia, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Baltic Sea.
