We are pleased to announce that effective 2nd April, ESL’s flagship service – the GALEX
(GLX) service – will work in tandem with the new COSMOS (CMX) service to enhance
connectivity between the Far East and the Middle East. The original GALEX service, which
was recently revamped, will undergo modifications to its service rotation.

The GLX service will provide direct connections between key Chinese ports and the
newest addition – the dynamic Saudi Arabian maritime hub of Dammam. In addition, the
modified port rotation reduces transit time between key ports in China and Jebel Ali, as
well as ensures continued coverage into Sohar, Oman and Khor Fakkan, UAE.

The CMX service primarily serves ports in Central China, viz. Shanghai and Ningbo, and
Da Chan Bay in South China, while the GLX service will serve Busan in South Korea,
Qingdao in North China, and Xiamen, Nansha and Da Chan Bay in South China. Both
services complementarily reduce transit times from East Asia to the Middle East and
increase overall frequency of services between the regions.

COSMOS rotation: Shanghai – Ningbo – Da Chan Bay – Jebel Ali – Sohar – Port
Klang (W) – Shanghai

GALEX rotation: Busan – Qingdao – Xiamen – Nansha – Da Chan Bay – Port Klang
(W) – Jebel Ali – Dammam – Khor Fakkan – Busan

Please refer to the attached brochures for more information about the GLX and CMX
services. Should you require further information, please visit our website (https://
