NYK joins Hapag-Lloyd express Atlantic service
NYK Line said Wednesday it is joining a new transatlantic Hapag-Lloyd service as a slot buyer.
The service, announced July 30 by the German carrier, will be a direct sprint from Antwerp to New York. It is due to start Sept. 14 from Antwerp and Sept. 25 from New York.
NYK is a partner of Hapag-Lloyd in the Grand Alliance. The third partner in the alliance, OOCL, said last week it would also buy slots on the service.
NYK will use the same name for the service as Hapag-Lloyd, the Atlantic Express Shuttle, which will be operated with three 2,200-TEU vessels.
