“RCL is already involved in the Indian main port trades through our cooperation with partners. This is an important milestone for RCL as it marks our second entry into the smaller feeder type ports in India, after Tuticorin,” said Charlie Chu, evp business for RCL.
“This service will serve our COC customers especially from South East Asia who have shipments to Calcutta, while same time serving our SOC customers who have encouraged us to start a service as well and serve their requirements. We expect the launch of this service to be well received in the market.”
