First China-Calcutta Vessel Arrives at Kolkata Port

The Kolkata Port recently received its first vessel under the new China-Calcutta shipping service, marking a significant milestone in enhancing trade links between India and China. The vessel's arrival signifies a boost in maritime connectivity, aiming to streamline logistics and reduce transit times for cargo.

This service is part of a broader initiative to improve trade routes and foster economic collaboration between the two countries. By connecting directly to Chinese ports, the Kolkata Port can expect increased efficiency in handling imports and exports, benefiting businesses and consumers alike.
