P&O Nedlloyd to exit joint North Europe/East Mediterranean service

P&O Nedlloyd to exit joint North Europe/East Mediterranean service    P&O Nedlloyd is leaving the weekly North Europe/East Mediterranean weekly “Southern Route” service it jointly operates with Hamburg Sud, Ellerman and Senator Lines in April. A spokesman for P&O Nedlloyd confirmed the carrier will continue to operate in this trade lane.
   The revised service will remain weekly using five ships. Hamburg Sud will instead operate four ships on the service rather than three, with Senator Lines providing the fifth ship.
   At the same time new calls at Tunis are being added to the port rotation, which will become Felixstowe, Hamburg, Antwerp, Tunis, Alexandria, Beirut, Lattakia, Mersin, Izmir, Salerno and back to Felixstowe. The vessel “City of Tunis” starts the revised service when it departs from Antwerp on April 27, arriving at Tunis on May 3.
