JAPAN's Ocean Network Express (ONE) has established the latest connection between India and Georgia Ports with the call of 6,724-TEU one Modern becoming the first ship on the carrier's West India North America (WIN) service calling at the Port of Savannah.
'This new offering from ONE is a recognition of India's growing role as a manufacturing hub,' said Georgia Ports Authority president and CEO Griff Lynch. 'As the world's most populous country, with a growing consumer class and significant infrastructure investment, India represents a remarkable opportunity for trade via Savannah.'
Mr Lynch said deliveries from India to the US east coast are more efficient than US west coast routes. Even with current vessel diversions around Africa, GPA reaches inland markets across the US Southeast and Midwest three to five days faster than US west coast ports.
'The WIN Service offers our valued customers a weekly routing from Nhava Sheva and Mundra to the US east coast. This new service to the Port of Savannah demonstrates ONE's commitment to this important and growing market, providing reliability and flexibility to our customers,' said Dan Sheehy, ONE senior vice president, product & network.
The new WIN service offers a weekly route from Bin Qasim, Hazira, Nhava Sheva and Mundra to New York and Savannah.
The addition of the WIN service from ONE brings the Georgia Ports Authority's direct weekly India services to four, while a total of eight services connect Savannah to the Indian Subcontinent. The service is provided by a fleet of nine vessels, all of which are operated by ONE.
