DP World, a leading provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions, has welcomed the inaugural voyage of the MGX-2 (Milaha Gulf Express Service-2) at DP World Mundra. This new fortnightly service aims to bolster India’s trade potential by connecting key ports across the Far East, Indian Subcontinent, and Gulf regions, thereby enhancing DP World’s integrated trade networks.
Operating with three vessels of 3,000 TEUs each, the MGX-2 service will cover a rotation including Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Sohar, Hamad, and Dammam.
