Maersk launches first direct service between South America and Russia

3/23/2010 10:32:45 AM

Maersk Line has announced a new direct service between Ecuador and Russia, called the ECUBEX service.   The service will be the first direct liner route between the two countries. As trade links are enhanced and expanded, the route will bring benefits to both Russian and Ecuadorian exporters and importers.    Investment in this service was motivated by client demand for fast, reliable refrigerated transportation of fruit from Ecuador to the Russian market.   Maersk Line's ECUBEX service operates on a weekly basis, with six newly built Ice-Classed container vessels with maximum reefer capacity (600 plugs) and total nominal capacity of 2,500 TEU.   The port rotation is: Guayaquil (Ecuador) > Balboa (Panama) > Rotterdam (Netherlands) > St. Petersburg PLP (Russia) > St. Petersburg FCT (Russia) > Bremerhaven (Germany) > Manzanillo (Panama) > Balboa (Panama) > Guayaquil (Ecuador).   Eyefortransport
