SeaLead Launches Far East Bangladesh Express Service Connecting China to Bangladesh

SeaLead, a fast-growing global shipping line, today announced the launch of its new direct liner shipping service, the Far East Bangladesh Express (FBX), connecting major Chinese ports with Bangladesh. The inaugural voyage is set for 31 August 2024.

The weekly service will include port calls at Ningbo, Shanghai, Shekou, and Chittagong, with three vessels in rotation providing a consistent and reliable schedule. The westbound journey starts from Ningbo, with stops at Shanghai and Shekou before arriving in Chittagong. The eastbound journey will return directly from Chittagong to Ningbo. The key benefit of the FBX service is the fast transit time it offers from Shanghai to Chittagong, enabling customers to transport their goods quickly and efficiently.
