The new route, launched after the India Red Sea service in September, is aimed at strengthening trade ties with India. Folk Maritime highlighted that both routes will facilitate the movement of consumer goods, petrochemicals, and other essential commodities between India and other regions.
India’s largest commercial and container port, Mundra in Gujarat, plays a crucial role as an economic gateway to the northern hinterland of India. With its multimodal connectivity, Mundra serves as a key hub for trade activities. On the other hand, Nhava Sheva port, situated east of Mumbai in Maharashtra, is a significant player in handling India’s containerized trade. It serves as a focal point for long-haul calls to and from the emerging market economy.
Overall, the new route and the India Red Sea service are vital for enhancing trade relations with India. By connecting major ports like Mundra and Nhava Sheva, Folk Maritime aims to streamline the movement of goods and strengthen economic ties between India and other regions. This initiative is expected to boost trade activities and promote the exchange of essential commodities.
