Hamburg Süd optimises Europe-Med services

8/21/2010 9:54:00 AM

At the end of September and beginning of October, Hamburg Süd will implement its newly-configured Europe-Mediterranean services.

The Northern Route (EMNR) and the Europe- East Mediterranean/Israel Service (UKEI), hitherto operated in partnership, as well as the Southern Route (EMSR), will be replaced by two new standalone services: the North Europe-South Mediterranean Service (NESM) and the North Europe-North Mediterranean Service (NENM).

For the NESM, Hamburg Süd will employ five ships with a capacity between 2,500 and 2,700 TEUs. The rotation is Felixstowe, Antwerp, Hamburg, Tangiers, Alexandria, Limassol, Ashdod, Mersin, Haifa, Alexandria, Felixstowe.

For the NENM, five ships with a capacity of 1,700 to 2,100 TEUs will be employed. The rotation is Felixstowe, Hamburg, Antwerp, Tangiers, Beirut, Lattakia, Kumport, Gebze, Izmir, Salerno, Felixstowe.

The new service configuration provides for comprehensive port coverage and fast transit times from and to North Europe. Through the calls in the hub port of Tangiers, Eastern Med locations will be connected to the worldwide service network of Hamburg Süd. Tunis will henceforth be connected through a dedicated feeder service via Tangiers.

Parallel to the aforementioned improvements, the shipping group’s port rotation on the Italy, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt Service (EMDS) is also being adjusted. The new rotation is Salerno, Vado Ligure, Livorno, Alexandria, Beirut, Lattakia, Tartous (monthly), Salerno.

The first sailings on the new NESM Service are scheduled for 26 September (southbound) with the Cap Bizerta and on 3 October (northbound) with the Cap Palmas.

The first sailings on the new NENM Service are scheduled for 22 September (southbound) with the Santa Francesca and 8 October (northbound), also with the Santa Francesca.
