Rotation

Where MSC Himalaya Express loads, changes ship and discharges

Himalaya Express is the service code MSC 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.
