Short-sea operator Unifeeder, a part of DP World’s Marine Services Division and India’s Sagarmala Finance Corporation Limited (SMFCL) have joined forces to develop and scale “commercially sustainable” coastal and short-sea shipping services across the South Asian country.

Through the memorandum of understanding (MoU) that the two have inked, representatives from Unifeeder and SMFCL have disclosed that the overall goal would also be to ‘bolster’ India’s multimodal logistics ecosystem and provide the ‘necessary’ push forward to the nation’s low-carbon maritime vision.
