MV Songa Iridium, the first vessel to be deployed by feeder and shortsea operator Feedertech on the UISC service, made its maiden voyage to Bahrain’s Khalifa Bin Salman Port marking the start of a new route.
Feedertech is represented in the kingdom by National Shipping Agency, part of the Al Sharif Group.
Officials from APM Terminals Bahrain, the port operator, Ports and Maritime Affairs and Al Sharif Group were present during the plaque exchange ceremony at the port to mark the arrival of the ship.
The new service aims at fulfilling increasing customer demand for improved frequency and connectivity to and from Bahrain to ports in the upper-Gulf and the Indian subcontinent.
Ports on the rotation include Jebel Ali, Karachi, Mundra, Sohar, Shuaiba and Umm Qasr.
