New West India Service to call Port of Savannah

January 05, 2024

Ocean Network Express will launch a new containership service between Savannah and West India in May 2024. The new offering will give the Georgia Ports Authority 10 services via the Suez Canal, with nine calling on the Indian subcontinent. 

"ONE's West India North America service recognizes a growing shift in global sourcing, with more manufacturers adding operations on the subcontinent," said GPA President and CEO Griff Lynch. "With the world's largest population, India also represents a tremendous market opportunity for U.S. exporters. The Port of Savannah is strategically positioned to take advantage of this trend, providing more connections to India for supply chain flexibility."
