SeaLead announced the launch of its new Dubai, Karachi to East Africa (DUKE) service, a direct liner service connecting Pakistan with the Middle East and East Africa.
This service expands SeaLead’s presence in Pakistan, linking it to the Middle East through Jebel Ali, a key transshipment hub, and further strengthens Pakistan’s connectivity to East Africa via the Middle East, thereby improving export opportunities.
The DUKE service offers the following port rotation:
Karachi (Pakistan) – Jebel Ali (UAE) – Mombasa (Kenya) – Karachi
The inaugural vessel is scheduled to depart from Karachi on 24 December.
Shiva Mahadevan, Regional Managing Director, South Asia, Middle East and Africa, SeaLead, commented: “The DUKE service is a step forward in our strategy to expand into Pakistan while strengthening our presence in the Middle East and East Africa. With superior transits and strategic connectivity, this service delivers exceptional value to our customers, helping them access new markets.”
