The port rotation is as follows: Shanghai – Busan-Lazaro Cardenas (Mexico) – Busan – Shanghai
An HMM official said: “We have launched the FLX as the cargo from China to Mexico increases. The new service will provide customers with a premium loop rotation serving Far East Asia to Mexico trade as well as additional network coverage between Asia and Mexico.
“The FLX will be joined with our existing NW1 (New West Latin America Service), NW2, and NW3 services to provide an extensive network connecting Asia and South America.”
