MSC enhances services between Asia-North Europe

MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company is pleased to announce revisions to its five services operating between Asia and North Europe.

MSC’s Asia – North Europe services already offer market-leading reliability. The improvements to its network on the world’s largest trade lane will further strengthen reliability and provide enhanced transit times for customers.

Particular highlights include:

• The Albatross service will see a major improvement into Germany now including a direct service from North China to Hamburg, as well as optmized connections with Scandinavia and the Baltics.
• Westbound transit times will improve by as much as four days from the main Asian markets to Bremerhaven and Rotterdam, and Eastbound services from Rotterdam to Shanghai are to see transit cut to five days.
•  Felixstowe will benefit from changes to the Swan service with direct services from Shanghai, Ningbo and Qingdao.
•  MSC’s strategic hub of Antwerp is included on four of the five loops; Albatross, Shogun (EB) and Lion, Swan (WB).

The improvements to the network are anticipated to be fully phased-in during the third quarter of 2016.
