HMM has announced a new weekly maritime service, the India North Europe Express (INX), which will directly link Western India to Northern Europe. The service will commence operations on February 5, 2025, with its first departure from Karachi, Pakistan.
The INX service is a collaboration between HMM and ONE, employing 6,000 TEU container ships on an 11-week round-trip schedule (77 days). Its port rotation includes Karachi, Hazira, Mundra, Nhava Sheva, Colombo, London Gateway, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, and back to Karachi.
This new service complements HMM’s existing India-to-Mediterranean (FIM) and India-to-East Coast America (IAX) routes. By extending its network to Northern Europe, HMM aims to support India’s expanding international trade, facilitating both regional exports and imports as well as global trans-shipment through India.
