SINGAPORE-BASED X-Press Feeders is the latest player to join the regional shipping race amid buoyant volumes at India's Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (Nhava Sheva), reports UK's The Loadstar.
X-Press Feeders has announced a fixed-day, weekly connection to rotate Singapore, Port Klang, JNPT, Mundra, Singapore, designed to operate with three ships of 1,250 to 1,350 TEU capacity.
"The Singapore India Express (SIX) service will add to our Straits-Nhava Sheva and Mundra coverage by providing additional frequencies each week," said X-Press Feeders.
The move follows feeder calls added by Samudera Shipping Line (SSL) and DP World's shortsea arm, Feedertech, at JNPT last month, with major liner ONE joining the former with an eye on Indian transshipment cargo.
With more call additions, JNPT saw combined throughput hit a new high of 5.63 million TEU last year, 26 per cent up on 2020's 4.47 million TEU.
More notably, in just over three years, PSA International's Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals (BMCT) became the second busiest operator at JNPT, its growth rate outpacing long-established DP World and APMT facilities. Last year, volumes galloped to 1.17 million TEU, up 42 per cent year on year.
With the SSL service that debuted at JNPT on November 29, BMCT has 10 weekly sailings and the terminal saw a record 54 container vessel calls last month. If its growth momentum is sustained, the 2.4 million TEU capacity BMCT will attain a 50 per cent capacity utilisation in its fiscal year that ends on March 31.
