MSC combines Americas services using new Panama Canal

MEDITERRANEAN Shipping Company (MSC) is to combine its Europe-North America and North America-west coast South America services into one.The SAWC-USA-NWC consolidates the US east coast to South America west coast and northern Europe to South America west coast services and will launch when the 8,800-TEU MSC Brunella sails from Rotterdam on June 14, transiting the Panama Canal after the new locks open on June 26."This comes as Panama Canal expansion comes into effect, enabling us to maintain the same carrying capacity as before, while reducing environmental impact," MSC said, adding that it will also provide favourable transit times.The service will see Port Everglades, New York and Charleston all served by MSC's transshipment feeder hub in Freeport, Bahamas. A second transshipment hub in Callao will serve Arica, Puerto Angamos and San Antonio.The full rotation will be: Coronel, Valparaiso, Callao, Balboa, Freeport, Philadelphia, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Tilbury, Hamburg, Bremerhaven on the northbound leg and Rotterdam, Tilbury, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Antwerp, Sines, Freeport, Cartagena, Cristobal, Balboa, Bunenaventura, Callao and back to Coronel.
