The Tian Le V.42, operated by Cosco Shipping Specialized Carriers Co, a subsidiary of Shanghai-based China Cosco Shipping Corp, was loaded with high value-added goods.
The vessel will dock in Victoria and Santos, Brazil, before heading to the port of Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico.
It is the fifth global marine route freshly designated for BRICS countries, helping to expand trade channels between enterprises in South American and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, port authorities were cited as saying by an official media outlet.
At least eight multipurpose vessels will operate in the route, providing two-way direct import and export services between China and South America, port authorities said.
