Rotation
Where Hapag-Lloyd IMA loads, changes ship and discharges
IMA is the service code Hapag-Lloyd gives for the ship that loads in India. The schedule feed shows where the ship loads in India, where cargo changes ship, and the US port it is delivered to. It does not give the full list of every port a ship calls at, so this is the India–USA part of the rotation.
