Hapag-Lloyd has assured shippers that its Canada-Mediterranean service will continue unchanged after its partner on the route, Senator Lines, announced it is ceasing all operations.
Senator contributed two of the eight ships of 1,000-2,000 TEUs capacity that run a weekly service from Montreal to Marseilles-Fos, Genoa, Salerno, and Cagliari with a second loop covering Valencia, Leghorn, Cadiz and Lisbon.
In a notice to the trade, South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping, Senator Lines’ parent, said it is investigating the possibility of continuing the Canada-Mediterranean service in conjunction with Hapag-Lloyd.
