MSC adds South Indian ports to network

MSC adds South Indian ports to network    Geneva, Switzerland-based Mediterranean Shipping Co., the world’s second-largest ocean carrier, will add the Southern Indian ports of Chennai, Tuticorin and Cochin to its global network from the start of next month.
   Effective Feb. 2, MSC will connect the three Indian ports through feeder carriers, with whom MSC has contracted to transship its containers to and from its main line vessels in Colombo.
   MSC has future plans to extend the coverage to other ports on India’s East Coast and to operate its own feeder service to and from Colombo, or even start direct main line service calls to either Chennai or Cochin.
