“The new call will further strengthen connections between Germany and the USA and reflects MSC’s ongoing commitment to developing its Transatlantic network which provides the widest network of ports, competitive transit times and access to our extensive inland transportation and logistics solutions,“ said MSC in a statement.
In February this year, MSC combined two existing container services, resulting in additional direct port calls between the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) and the West Coast of South America.
More recently, APMT Gothenburg welcomed the launch of a new weekly MSC route to the US and South America.
