The coverage of the SEAS service will be improved with the implementation of two complementary strings (SEAS I and SEAS II), operated each with 10 vessels of an average nominal capacity of 2,500 TEU. This will be the only direct service linking North China with South America's east coast.
The upgrade also involves an increase on reefer slots, with an average of 140 plugs per week between the two slings.
Maruba will deploy a total of 4 vessels, CSCL 5, CMA CGM 9 and KLINE 2.
The weekly rotation of each loop will be; SEAS I: Qingdao, Busan, Shanghai, Chiwan, Port Kelang, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Buenos Aires, Montevideo Rio Grande, Itajai, Santos, Port Kelang and Hong Kong
The rotation for SEAS II will be: Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Shekou, Port Kelang, Santos, Buenos Aires, Sao Francisco do Sul, Paranagua, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Durban, Port Kelang, Hong Kong, Shanghai.
