Mediterranean Shipping Co. merged its Panama/Med service and the Puma service (U.S. West Coast to Panama) into one single loop. MSC will now offer a direct service named “California Express” for all cargo bound to/from U.S. West Coast from/to West Mediterranean. The service will also enhance the transit time for all destinations connecting at Gioia Tauro, Valencia, Cristobal and Balboa, the carrier said.
The revised service will be operated by eight vessels presently employed on the current two strings.
Starting immediately, the rotation will be: Gioia Tauro, Naples, La Spezia, Valencia, Cristobal, Balboa, Long Beach, Oakland, Balboa, Cristobal, Gioia Tauro.
The first westbound sailing is scheduled to begin with the arrival of MSC Aniello in Cristobal Sept. 15 and to end in Long Beach Sept. 24.
The first eastbound sailing begins with MSC Caracas, which is currently undergoing operations in Oakland and sails for Balboa to arrive Sept. 15 and to arrive in Gioia Tauro Sept. 28.
