MatchLog expands container reuse partnerships to boost efficiency across India

MatchLog Solutions, a pioneer in sustainable logistics and supply chain optimisation, has strengthened its presence in India by partnering with both Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) and Ocean Network Express (ONE) to enhance container reuse, reduce inefficiencies, and improve supply chain efficiency across Indian ports.

The HMM collaboration, effective from 1 October 2025, will support container reuse initiatives, enabling smoother asset management and better utilisation across supply chains in India.

The new tie-up with ONE, announced on 30 September 2025, aims to enable large-scale reuse of import containers for export movement, significantly reducing empty container trips, cutting turnaround times, and improving network velocity across major trade hubs. India’s port infrastructure is operating under growing pressure as trade volumes increase. This collaboration addresses the challenge by focusing on real-time triangulation and reuse, repurposing incoming containers for outbound shipments, and eliminating inefficient legs and unnecessary repositioning.

ONE, with its global fleet and strong presence in India, will bring scale and routing predictability to the reuse operations. MatchLog will leverage its AI-led platform, triangulation engine, and integrated yard ecosystem to execute container reuse with high visibility, speed, and accuracy.

Speaking about the partnership, Dhruv Taneja, Founder & Global CEO of MatchLog Solutions, said, “This partnership represents a shared commitment to rethinking how logistics is done in a market like India, where demand is high, but capacity, infrastructure, and environmental margins are tight. By aligning with a forward-looking partner like ONE Line, we are strengthening our mission to reduce wasteful movement and bring predictability into the container logistics chain. This is reuse at scale, built on data, driven by purpose.”

Masahiro Sakikubo, Managing Director, Ocean Network Express India, added, “We are pleased to partner with MatchLog to operationalise sustainable container logistics at scale in India. As a global carrier, we see immense potential in integrating intelligent reuse systems that not only reduce cost and complexity, but also support our decarbonisation goals. Together, we aim to enable faster turnarounds, better equipment planning, and smarter movement of trade.”

MatchLog has been actively expanding in recent months. In May 2025, it partnered with Accuracy Shipping to improve container logistics efficiency in India, reducing unnecessary empty movements. In September 2025, it opened a regional office in Singapore to support its growing international operations.

HMM has also been advancing sustainability in 2025, including introducing its first methanol-powered container vessel and planning further additions to its green fleet.

The collaboration with ONE aligns with MatchLog’s broader vision to eliminate 10 billion kilometres of unnecessary container movement across the global EXIM supply chain. Together, these partnerships set a new precedent for how asset-light, data-first models can help India’s logistics sector scale without compromising efficiency or sustainability.
