Bigger ships to US

[ December 19, 2011   //   Chris ]

Hamburg Süd, Zim and Grand Alliance members Hapag-Lloyd, NYK and OOCL are upgrading their Europe/East Coast North America service with four 5,400teu ships, replacing four 3,700teu ships. As hitherto, Hamburg Süd and ZIM will each provide one vessel and the Grand Alliance two. The weekly fixed-day service calls at Southampton, then New York, Norfolk and Charleston returning via Rotterdam, Hamburg and Le Havre.
