CSCL is understood to have launched an additional service between China and North Europe, offering fortnightly sailings at first (AEX2) with four 5,600-TEU ships, but this has not been confirmed by the company, reported AXS-Alphaliner News.
The line is expected to add to the AEX1 and AEX7 loops. It is not yet clear if CSCL will bring changes to the AEX1 loop. Both the AEX1 and AEX2 schedules include Hamburg and Felixstowe.
Two 8,468-TEU vessels are believed to have been subtracted from the AEX1 service and will join MSC as sublets,
To replace the CSCL America, the carrier has shifted the 8,468-TEU CSCL Asia to the AEX1 from the America-Asia-Middle East service (AMA/AAS) and has replaced the ship with a 5,600-TEU vessel. CSCL's only spare 8,500-TEU ship, the recently delivered Xin Ya Zou, is currently deployed on the China-US run.
