Maersk Launches Weekly Direct China-India FI2 Service, First Voyage from Shanghai on June 4

May 27th - Maersk has announced the launch of its new weekly direct China-India FI2 ocean service. The inaugural voyage is scheduled to depart from Shanghai on June 4, 2026, and will be operated by six vessels. The port rotation will be Shanghai, Ningbo, Nansha, Tanjung Pelepas, Nhava Sheva, Pipavav, and Port Qasim.

This new service primarily targets the growing demand for high-value cargo with strict transit time requirements between China and India, including categories such as automotive parts and new energy materials. Upon arrival at Pipavav, cargo can seamlessly connect to Maersk's integrated landside network in the region for efficient distribution to the National Capital Region (NCR) of India and surrounding industrial clusters like Delhi, Gurugram, and Noida.

Maersk stated that the FI2 service, together with the existing FI3 service, will establish a dual-service network for direct connections from the Far East to India. This will provide customers with higher frequency, more flexible logistics options, and enhanced supply chain resilience, helping to mitigate supply chain disruption risks and optimize time-to-market.
