Service Launch Announcement: FI2 Far East Asia to India Subcontinent

11 May 2026

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new FI2 service: a dedicated service connecting Far East Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. Designed to strengthen network coverage and offer greater flexibility, the FI2 service provides enhanced connectivity from Southern and Central China to key, fast-growing markets in Northwest India and Pakistan.

Service Rotation:

Shanghai – Ningbo – Nansha – Tanjung Pelepas – Nhava Sheva – Pipavav – Port Qasim

The inaugural westbound voyage will commence with MAERSK COTONU / 623W, departing Shanghai, China on 4 June 2026.

With the launch of FI2, we will now offer two direct services from the Far East to India. FI2 will complement our existing FI3 service by providing enhanced direct coverage, improved routing options and increased service reliability to support your supply chain needs between the Far East and the Indian Subcontinent.
