Intra-Asia container carrier TS Lines has expanded its Indian Subcontinent network with the launch of the China-West India Express 2 (CWX2) service. The new weekly shipping route is designed to strengthen trade between China and West India by providing faster, more reliable, and efficient container transportation.
The CWX2 service directly connects major manufacturing hubs in Shanghai, Ningbo, and Shekou with key commercial ports on India’s west coast, helping businesses improve supply chain efficiency while reducing transit time and cargo handling.
Weekly Service Enhances Supply Chain Efficiency
The CWX2 service operates on a 42-day round-trip rotation, covering the following ports:
Shanghai → Ningbo → Shekou → Port Klang (West) → Nhava Sheva → Hazira → Mundra → Port Klang (West) → Shanghai
The direct shipping route is expected to facilitate the movement of:
- Automotive components
- Industrial machinery
- Chemicals
- Consumer goods
- Electronics
By reducing transshipment requirements, the service offers greater schedule reliability and lower logistics costs for exporters and importers
Hazira Added to TS Lines' India Network
A major highlight of the CWX2 launch is TS Lines’ first scheduled call at Hazira Port.
With the addition of Hazira, the company now connects India’s three major western container gateways under a single service:
- Nhava Sheva (Jawaharlal Nehru Port)
- Hazira Port
- Mundra Port
The expanded network improves access to key industrial and manufacturing hubs across Gujarat, Maharashtra, and northern India, enabling smoother cargo movement and stronger regional connectivity.

According to TS Lines, the new CWX2 service complements its existing Indian Subcontinent operations by increasing service frequency, improving routing flexibility, and strengthening network resilience.
