Ocean Network Express (ONE) announced November 27 it is launching a new service that connects India’s west coast and the United States east coast, with the goal of enhancing the ocean carrier’s services in the Indian market. The service is dubbed West India North America, or WIN.
As of November 2023, ONE provides 22 weekly services which collectively cover 11 ports in India. The new WIN service will offer a weekly route from Hazira, Nhava Sheva, Mundra to New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Charleston.
