Rotation
Where MSC direct loads, changes ship and discharges
MSC gives no service code for these sailings in the schedule feed, so this page groups its India sailings that reach a US port on the same ship. 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.
