Columbus Line, Crowley American Transport renamed Hamburg Sud

Columbus Line, Crowley American Transport renamed Hamburg Sud    The Hamburg Sud shipping group will stop using the trade names Columbus Line and Crowley American Transport and replace them with its own name in January.
   The German group, which recently also stopped using the regional brand name Kien Hung, said the carrier names Columbus Line and Crowley American Transport “have been used only in certain trades and countries.”
