Effective February 2011 and subject to obtaining regulatory approval, Hamburg Süd will extend the WAMS service, which has, to date, connected the west coasts of the US, Mexico and Central America with the hub in Cartagena.
The extended service, which will include Tangier and ports in North Europe, will deploy ten 1,700 TEU vessels - eight from Hamburg Süd and two from CCNI.
The complete port rotation will be: Long Beach > Oakland > Seattle > Vancouver > Oakland > Long Beach > Manzanillo (Mexico) > Lazaro Cardenas > Puerto Quetzal > Cartagena > Tangier > Rotterdam > Tilbury > Hamburg > Le Havre > Cartagena > Puerto Quetzal > Lazaro Cardenas > Long Beach.
The first sailing under the new rotation will be the Cap Palmerston from Vancouver on February 7th.
The service connects to the Hamburg Süd network in Cartagena and Tangier, enabling connections to the Caribbean basin, and the east and west coasts of South America via Cartagena and to the EastMed, Middle East and Indian Subcontinent via Tangier.
