APM Terminals Pipavav has secured a new weekly service NMG (Nhava Sheva-Mundra-Gulf) connecting India to the Gulf region.
The 2,751 TEU boxship, Tss Shams, was deployed on the first service on 5 January, departing from Jebel Ali Port to call the ports of Sohar, Nhava Sheva, Pipavav and Mundra.
NMG service will cater to the exporter/importers of Indian states Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab and Delhi, strengthening and boosting connectivity of the Indian hinterland to the gulf markets, according to APM Terminals, which noted the service is expected to ease the supply network between India and the Middle East.
“We believe that this service will deepen our presence in Gulf markets and thereby help our customers to widen their reach into the global markets,” commented APM Terminals Pipavav managing director, Jakob Friis Sorensen.
