Seven state-of-the-art 3,800-TEU newbuildings are being deployed in the service.
Hamburg Süd is revising the sequence of ports in its service between Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean and North Europe.
Beginning in June, weekly calls will be made at the following ports as part of the Europe-Mexico-Caribbean service (EMCS): Puerto Moin, Costa Rica; Cork, Ireland; Tilbury, U.K.; Antwerp, Belgium; Bremerhaven, Germany; Altamira, Mexico; Veracruz, Mexico; Port of Big Creek, Belize; and Manzanillo, Panama.
Hamburg Süd said the EMCS continues to provide clients short transit times and broad port coverage of Mexico, Belize, Panama and Costa Rica to North Europe. The direct southbound connection from North Europe to Veracruz and Altamira in Mexico will be maintained, eliminating the need for 24-hour advanced manifesting in U.S. ports.
Seven state-of-the-art 3,800-TEU newbuildings are being deployed in the service, the company said, adding that these purpose-built vessels have high reefer intake, which is critical for transport of time-sensitive refrigerated cargoes.
Additional information on the EMCS may be found on the Hamburg Süd website.
