Commenting on this, Mr John Quok, General Manager, PSA SICAL Terminals Limited, said ''this service is a continuing reiteration of our long-term commitment to our customers to bring in world-class logistics solutions in order to facilitate development of critical infrastructure in supporting the acceleration of India's international trade.

''With the direct mainline services and an extensive network of feeder services, we will be able to meet the growing demand for connectivity not only between important cities in the China-Middle East sea route, but also with the other key international ports.'' UNI GV GM 1812
