The call unloaded 109 TEU in imports and loaded 444 TEU in exports. KPCT has already surpassed FY 2014-15 container volume from last April through January this year and "offers immense opportunities for new service calls to tap its huge hinterland," said New York's Marine Link.

The service will cater to all import/export businesses ex INKRI (Port Code of Krishnapatnam Port) to Far East, USEC, USWC, Latin America, Europe and Inter Asia.
