The United States is the dream destination for exporters worldwide. Many wonder how to penetrate this market, characterised by its massive consumption of consumer goods. The US annual market size is approximately USD 22 trillion. To understand this scale, compare it to the Indian market, which, despite approaching a population of 1.5 billion, is valued at just USD 2.2 trillion. This highlights the vastly superior purchasing capacity of the average American citizen.
To help exporters reach this massive market, MSC has introduced the Himalayan service. Currently available with one transshipment, this service operates roughly every seven days, connecting TRV to Baltimore via Las Palmas. The schedule for vessels departing TRV for Baltimore is as follows: 15 August (Verona, 43 days); 25 August (Beryl, 40 days); 25 August (Marie Leslie, 40 days); 29 August (Siena, 39 days); 7 September (Danit, 44 days); 13 September (Savannah, 45 days); 19 September (Luciana, 42 days); and 26 September (Alexandra, 46 days).
