ONE replaces the WIN service with INE, India North America Express, from August 2026

Ocean Network Express retired its West India North America loop and started India North America Express in August, a shorter rotation from Nhava Sheva and Mundra via Salalah to New York, Norfolk, Savannah and Charleston.

Effective August 2026. Reviewed September 2026.

What changed

ONE's notice gives the new INE rotation as Nhava Sheva – Mundra – Salalah – New York – Norfolk – Savannah – Charleston – Nhava Sheva. The carrier says the service is meant to improve network stability, sailing frequency and transit times between West India, West Asia and the US East Coast.

Compared with WIN as it launched in 2024, the loop drops the Hazira, Bin Qasim, Damietta, Algeciras and Jeddah calls and the Jacksonville call in the US, and adds Salalah in Oman as the one call between Mundra and New York. ONE did not restate the WIN rotation in force immediately before the change, so a call that WIN had added or dropped since 2024 is not reflected here.

Cargo between Colombo and New York, Jacksonville, Charleston or Savannah moves to ONE's EC3 loop.

Timeline

  1. WIN (West India North America) starts: a weekly loop from Hazira, Nhava Sheva and Mundra to New York, Savannah, Jacksonville, Charleston and Norfolk, with Bin Qasim, Damietta, Algeciras and Jeddah on the rotation as launched.
  2. ONE announces that INE will replace WIN from August 2026, subject to regulatory approval.
  3. Last WIN sailing: San Francisco Bridge 0086E/W calls Mundra; it is due at New York on 3 September 2026.
  4. First INE sailing: Tucapel 6132W/6232E calls Nhava Sheva; due at New York on 12 September 2026.

What it means for an importer on this lane

  • New York, Norfolk, Savannah and Charleston keep a direct ONE call from Nhava Sheva and Mundra. Jacksonville does not: cargo for Jacksonville routes through another ONE loop or a partner service, so confirm the routing before you quote a delivery date.
  • Hazira is no longer a call on this loop. Exporters loading near Surat need to truck to Nhava Sheva or Mundra, or ask ONE which feeder covers Hazira.
  • Fewer calls usually means a tighter, more predictable rotation, but ONE's notice quotes no transit time for INE. Read the first published INE sailings before you assume a change in days.

What to check next

  • Which loop your August and September bookings sit on: the last WIN sailing and the first INE sailing overlap by two weeks at the Indian end.
  • ONE's published INE schedule for the ETA at your US port; the notice gives only the first Nhava Sheva and New York dates.
  • The routing for any Colombo cargo, which now goes via EC3.

Schedules to read next

  • The 'subject to regulatory approval' condition in ONE's notice: no later notice confirming or withdrawing the service was found.
