Hapag-Lloyd extra loader eases India disruption

Hapag-Lloyd has announced it will implement additional services to ease the build-up of containers in India and also to improve the challenging situation at the port of Colombo which is heavily congested.

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]The spike in demand coupled with limited vessel capacity has caused considerable disruption in the Indian market with customers needing dependable services, said the German carrier.

Starting at the end of January, Hapag-Lloyd will offer a fortnightly sailing from Chittagong to Krishnapatnam connecting Bangladesh onto the South India – Europe Express service (IEX). Furthermore, one extra-loader vessel will be deployed between India and North Europe improving the company’s current service portfolio.

Lars Sorensen, managing director of Hapag-Lloyd India, commented, “With these extra loaders we are able to improve our service offers for customers in India and Bangladesh but also in North Europe. The huge demand we are currently seeing is pretty unprecedented and we will do our utmost to support our customers with extra capacity.”

Bookings will be available via the Quick Quotes platform, with options to add shipping guarantees, allowing containers to be moved and delivered with the highest reliability.[/s2If]
