A.P. Moller – Maersk announces a significant upgrade to its ME2 ocean service. The enhanced ME2 service which calls Nhava Sheva and Mundra ports in India will now include port calls to key destinations in North Europe, namely Rotterdam, Felixstowe, and Bremerhaven.
The future port rotation of the ME2 service will be Port Tangier – Algeciras – Rotterdam – Felixstowe – Bremerhaven – Port Tangier – Salalah – Jebel Ali – Mundra – Nhava Sheva – Port Tangier.
This strategic extension of the ME2 service to key destinations in North Europe will benefit North & West India’s exporters, particularly those in the lifestyle and retail sectors. With the upgraded service, manufacturers and exporters will get expedited access to important consumer markets in North Europe.
The transit times for ocean transports between Mumbai ports and North Europe will be shortened by five to seven days. In the same way, on the backhaul from North Europe to India, the importers for the automotive sector will benefit from quicker transit times for automotive components coming into India.
