Maersk to speed up Europe/WCSA loop
Maersk Line is speeding up a service connecting Europe and the west coast of South America, according to American Shipper affiliate ComPair Data.
Starting Jan. 15, the carrier's Andean 1 service will operate with six ships instead of eight (with one intentionally missed sailing) with no changes to the service's rotation.
Rotation for the Andean 1 loop is Algeciras, Rotterdam, Tilbury, Manzanillo (Panama), Balboa, Guayaquil, Iquique, San Antonio, Callao, Balboa, Manzanillo and Algeciras. The standalone service operates with seven vessels (one of which is, again, currently withheld) with an average capacity of 2,918 TEUs.
