What is Transshipment?
Most India–USA sailings tranship at a hub such as Colombo, Singapore or a Mediterranean port, where containers move from a feeder or regional ship onto a larger mainline vessel. Each transshipment adds time and the risk of a missed connection.

Very few sailings from India to the US are direct; the hub a carrier uses is one of the biggest factors in its transit time.
