LCL Export Middle East - Update 08.04.2026


Dear Valued Customers,

We are pleased to inform you that, as of April 21, 2026, we will once again be able to offer a service to Dubai / Jebel Ali (AE).
Our consolidation container will remain intact until Jebel Ali with the routing
Bremerhaven – Salalah – Khor Fakkan – Jebel Ali.
We are also able to offer a direct service to Sohar (OM), with the routing
Bremerhaven – Salalah – Sohar.
Transit times are 35 days for both services.

The situation in the Middle East continues to prevent us from providing our usual direct services to Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Hamad, Bahrain, Dammam and Riyadh. We can now offer these destinations via Jebel Ali. Our SSC Consolidation office in Dubai will reload these shipments to their final destination via feeder vessel.
Dangerous goods are currently not accepted on these new services. We will continue to keep you informed of any updates.

In addition, our weekly direct departures to the Red Sea ports of Jeddah and Aqaba remain available.
Please refer to our schedules at sacoshipping.com and feel free to send us your inquiries about our new rates or use our quotation tool —we look forward to hearing from you!
Due to the unstable situation in the region, we would like to point out that delays and delivery disruptions may occur.
