KC Group Shipping Brings First-Ever Direct China Bangladesh to Scotland East and Westbound Container Service
KC Group Shipping, a recently announced new member of the X2 Elite Network and Scotland`s largest truly independent Logistics provider, announces the first-ever direct container service connecting China and Scotland east and westbound.
The maiden voyage departed Ningbo, China, in mid-July 2022, arriving directly at Greenock Port, Scotland, around 20 August 2022.
Operating under our direct charter, complemented by an Alliance partnership with DKT Allseas, the China Xpress service, will provide Scottish importers and exporters with a direct port call eliminating the decades of frustrating transshipments and huge delays at European ports.
The China Xpress shipping solution will vastly improve logistics and supply chain resilience providing a new direct container service across Scotland and the United Kingdom.
David Milne, KC Group Shipping Managing Director, commented, "China Xpress is one of the most significant developments in the UK, and especially Scotland's shipping industry, for many years. We've analyzed the marketplace and listened to our customers, and there is no doubt that the service will bring much-needed efficiencies to their supply chains."
China Xpress Service includes;
• Six (6) x circa 1600 TEU vessels
• Ten (10) day port rotation
• Three (3) sailings per month
• East/Westbound direct calls at Ningbo, Dongguan, Chittagong, Liverpool, Greenock and Rotterdam
• Feeder network servicing Far East Asia
• Fastest and ONLY direct container service linking China & Bangladesh to/from Scotland
The newly formed alliance and service will provide not only an unparalleled service to the United Kingdom but additionally much-needed tonnage and equipment to global supply chains. With immediate effect, we will offer;
• 20’ Standard and 20’ High Cube Containers
• 40’ Standard and 40’ High Cube Containers
• 40’ Mega Cube Containers (Payload 85cbm)
• 20’ and 40’ Reefer Containers
By taking a progressive approach to solving the supply chain challenges Scottish Importers and Exporters encounter, KC Group Shipping will deliver a unique service offering, reduced transit times, and the ONLY direct service linking China Bangladesh, and Scotland.
David Milne continued, "I am encouraged that Scotland's industries now have a solution to ensure commerce, products, and trade in and out of Scotland, have an effective and competitive way forward."

I've been in the business for over 30 years, I have never had or experienced such and effort by the management team of the network to get members to participate and make their membership work for them.
The professionalism and organisation shown from the X2 team totally blew us away.
Richard is an innovator, what I find great working with him is that he can see the future.
I was positively surprised from the amazing organization and specially the commitment of all X2 Team making this event incredible for everybody and in all complete fields.
We have to skip the networks that are founded only for the benefits of the founders Quality and not quantity.
We found the best way to build trust is to go to the conference and meet with people, talk to them and get to know them.

We have been a member of X2 since 2014 and have attended six conferences. Richard and his passion for the network with his enthusiastic team have arranged all the conferences perfectly considering every single detail. We made many friends and found new global partners to work with at the conferences. X2 is one of the good solutions for our needs and we hereby thank them for their efforts.
I have attended a lot of networks and annual meetings in the freight industry, but I have never come across a network like X2. This is another level. It is a pleasure to be a part of the X2 network - the professionalism, the attention to detail, the broad and knowledgeable staff - everything at the highest level.
X2 is really an excellent logistics network, with a well-organized team that is always thoughtful and helpful. We are happy with X2 and expect a long journey together.
