Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has reinstated its China–India Osprey service in response to rising cargo demand fueled by ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea trade corridor. The return of the sailings is aimed at providing shippers with additional capacity and more reliable connections between key Chinese export hubs and Indian ports.
The Red Sea crisis has forced many carriers to reroute vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, extending transit times and tightening equipment availability across major east-west trades. As a result, regional routes such as China–India have seen stronger demand from businesses seeking alternative supply chain options and faster market access.
By reviving the Osprey service, MSC seeks to support customers with improved schedule coverage, greater flexibility, and enhanced supply chain resilience amid continued volatility in global container shipping markets.
