GCL extends

RESPONDING TO growing market demand, East African specialists Global Container Lines (GCL), will extend their weekly Indian Ocean Service by inaugurating calls from Nhava Sheva (JNPT).
The new weekly service links Mumbai and JNPT directly to Muscat and Sharjah (with connections to all Persian Gulf ports), East African ports of Mombasa, Zanzibar and Dar-es-Salaam (with connections by GCL's services to Nacala, Beira, Maputo, Durban, Tanga, Moroni, Mutsamudu and Mayotte). GCL also accepts cargo for Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Eastern Zaire.
The new weekly Multiflex Service - a combination of roro, containers and breakbulk, with heavy lift capabilities - was scheduled to make its first call at JNPT yesterday (May 9). This new departure is expected to expand regional trade options.
GCL is represented in all Indian ports by Sai Shipping, Mumbai which has done so for the past 16 years. Freightmarine Shipping is the local agent.
