HMM has announced the launch of a new India North Europe Express (INX) service, offering a direct connection from Western India to Northern Europe. INX is a weekly service that will cooperate with HMM and ONE, turning around in 11 weeks (R/V 77 days) with 6,000 TEU containerships. In conjunction with the company’s existing India to Mediterranean (FIM) and India to East Coast America (IAX) services, this new service is said to further diversify HMM’s service portfolio originating from India.
By expanding its reach to Northern Europe, the INX service aims to facilitate regional ex-import from India and global trans-shipment via India, supporting India’s growing international trade. The maiden voyage will be starting from Karachi, Pakistan on 5 February 2025, with the following port rotation: Karachi– Hazira– Mundra – Nhava Sheva – Colombo – London Gateway – Rotterdam – Hamburg – Antwerp – Karachi.
Earlier this September, HMM developed a mid-to-long-term plan to extend its business portfolio for future growth.
