DP World, a global leader in providing smart end-to-end logistics solutions, has ushered in a new era of connectivity with the arrival of the maiden voyage of the vessel 'M.V. Celsius New Orleans' at its terminal in Nhava Sheva in October 2023.
Operated by the Unifeeder Group and ONE LINE, this new weekly "MJI" service is designed to optimize supply chain efficiencies, connecting key ports including Jebel Ali, Mundra, Nhava Sheva, Mombasa, Beira, and Maputo. This strategic rotation spans 35 days and deploys three ships with a capacity ranging from 1,700 to 2,000 TEUs.
This interconnected service aims to alleviate congestion and supply chain challenges in East Africa. By reducing transit times and enhancing accessibility to major Middle East and Indian Subcontinent ports through Jebel Ali, it significantly improves lead times while improving cost efficiencies, greatly benefiting customers.
