OOCL launches the Far East - Chennai Service (FCS4) to boost trade connectivity between Malaysia and East India, starting November 22, 2026.
OOCL is pleased to announce the launch of the new Far East - Chennai Service (FCS4). This service further strengthens connectivity between Malaysia and East India and reinforces the company's commitment to dependable, well-connected ocean transport across Asia.
Launching on November 22, 2026, FCS4 will provide direct connections between Port Kelang, Vizag, and Chennai. The new service is designed to deliver improved flexibility, broader connectivity, and greater service reliability for cargo moving between Malaysia and East India.
The FCS4 service will operate on the following rotation: Port Klang - Vizag - Chennai - Port Klang.
This rotation links Port Klang, Malaysia's largest port and a key transshipment hub in Southeast Asia, with two important gateways on India's east coast. These are Visakhapatnam (Vizag) in Andhra Pradesh and Chennai in Tamil Nadu. The closed-loop design gives cargo owners a direct ocean link between these markets. This helps reduce dependence on indirect routings and supports more predictable planning for shipments in both directions.
