Ocean Alliance and Maersk switch from Hamburg to Antwerp


From April onwards, the Ocean Alliance NEU 5 service handled by Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg – CTH will be transferred to Antwerp (Belgium). The service will be run by the Ocean Alliance Partner CMA CGM as FAL 3 with an approximate annual volume of 150,000 teu.

 

Going forward, according to CMA CGM, the entire container volume that this service has hitherto carried to and from Hamburg will be handled by the five Ocean Alliance liner services. The vessels will continue to call at Hamburg on this route. These runs are the full-container services NEU 2, NEU 3, NEU 4, NEU 6 and NEU 7.

 

For CMA CGM, one of the port of Hamburg’s main customers in container transport with a total of 15 full-container and feeder services, the transfer of the FAL 3 service is a decision taken by the Alliance partners to optimise ships’ voyages within the context of its global service network.

 

For its part, Maersk will change its ME 1 service that until now has offered weekly connections from India via Dubai and Saudi-Arabia to the German ports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven; as of February, this service will temporarily not be calling Hamburg.

 

Maersk line has informed its customers that container cargo previously carried on ME 1 can continue to be seamlessly handled on the Maersk AE 7 service to and from Hamburg. Even after suspending the ME 1 service, Maersk will be calling Hamburg with a total of five container-liner services. (mw)
