The Osprey service is being revived by MSC to support customers with improved schedule coverage, greater flexibility, and enhanced supply chain resilience

In response to rising cargo demand fuelled by ongoing disruptions in the Red Sea trade corridor, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has reinstated its China–India Osprey service. The resumption of sailings aims to provide shippers with additional capacity and more reliable connections between major Chinese export hubs and Indian ports.

The Red Sea crisis 

The Red Sea crisis has led many carriers to reroute vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in longer transit times and reduced equipment availability across key east-west trade routes. Consequently, regional routes such as China–India have experienced increased demand from businesses seeking alternative supply chain solutions and quicker market access.

The Osprey service 

The Osprey service is being revived by MSC to support customers with improved schedule coverage, greater flexibility, and enhanced supply chain resilience amid ongoing volatility in global container shipping markets.
