Maersk Line has announced the full extent of revisions to its current South Atlantic Express (SAE) service including the addition of calls to the Port of Savannah and the Port of Wilmington.
With a significant capacity for temperature controlled cargo shipments, as well as improved transit times for all cargo, the new SAE service provides expanded geographic scope.
Consistent with Maersk’s efforts to ensure stability within the Latin America-North America trade lanes, the revised SAE service also leverages a southbound call at Miami mid-week for improved service and convenience to the general commodities export market.
This service also signals the initiation of Maersk Line service to the Port of Wilmington, North Carolina, with a four-day transit from Santo Tomas and full gate availability on Saturdays in Wilmington for pickup and deliveries.
As previously announced, this weekly service reflects omission of the northbound call to Miami, and removal of service to the Port of Charleston from the schedule.
The new SAE rotation is as follows: Savannah (US), Wilmington (US), Norfolk (US), Miami (US), Puerto Cortes (Honduras) and Santo Tomas (Guatemala).
