TSL quits Iran

TSL quits Iran
TS Lines (TSL) has cut its services to Iran by removing Bandar Abbas from two of its routes, Alphaliner reports.

TSL's exit leaves Iran-based HDS Lines as the the only remaining deep sea operator serving the country, with its Far East-Middle East service, along with a few Dubai-based feeder lines.

The line's China-Middle East (CME) and India-Middle East Express services, which previously served Iran are now expected to be rolled into one. In six weeks time, the updated CME service will run the following route: Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Shekou, Port Kelang, Nhava Sheva, Jebel Ali, Karachi, Port Kelang, Hong Kong, Shanghai.
