Pakistan International Container Terminal Services (PICT) welcomed the newly launched UAE-Indian Subcontinent-Gulf service (UIG), with an inaugural call at the Port of Karachi in July. 

The UIG feeder service, a joint initiative between Abu Dhabi Ports’ Safeen Feeders and Singapore-based Bengal Tiger Line, covers two loops from the United Arab Emirates to the Indian subcontinent and the upper Gulf region.  It strengthens the connection between the East and West trade hubs and significantly enhances the region’s global competitiveness.  The service is operated by three 2,800 nominal vessels and connects nine regional ports across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Pakistan and West India. 

The launch of the UIG service in Karachi was marked by the maiden call of the 2,762-TEU BELLATRIX I at PICT.
