Maersk to Upsize India-USEC Capacity to Tap Post-Trade Deal Cargo Growth

Maersk announced a significant upsizing of its West India‑US East Coast (MECL) service to add incremental westbound container capacity. The move follows the United States’ reduction of tariffs on Indian‑made goods from 50% to 25%, with a further cut to 18% anticipated. Industry sources say the expanded loading space targets the expected cargo surge as trade flows rebound. The capacity boost positions Maersk to capture market share on a lane poised for rapid growth.
