MSC has revised the rotation of the Indus Express service and is launching a new Indusa service, starting on 1 September 2020.
The Indus Express service will focus on North West India, Pakistan, the Middle East and U.S. East Coast markets. The new Indusa service will connect Southeast India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh to U.S. East coast, with a call at Colombo in Sri Lanka to reinforce our offering for cargo shippers in the Indian subcontinent.
Both services will operate as standalone MSC services offering competitive transit times from the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent region to the U.S. East Coast.
The U.S. customers benefit from the possibility to import cargo from anywhere in India boosting predictability for effective supply chain planning.
