UASC is pleased to introduce ARC2 , a fixed day weekly service from Asia to Southern Red Sea that will broaden UASC's market coverage, provide direct services to additional Red Sea ports whereby UASC will provide more efficient and high quality services to its existing and new customers.

This new setup is developed through a Vessel Sharing Agreement with CMA CGM and China Shipping Container Lines " CSCL that leverages on strong expertise in this region and is a part of their continual commitment to better serve their customers by providing competitive transit times between ports in Asia and Red Sea.

The introduction of ARC2 will complement our recently introduced Asia Northern Red Sea Service ARC1, the combination of the 2 services will greatly improve our direct port coverage in Asia and the Red Sea region meeting the growing demand and customer requirements to/from the Red Sea market.
