Mediterranean Shipping Co. said it is restructuring its Silk and Lion services from Asia to Europe, reducing transit times by an average of a week, especially to the German ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven.
As a result, MSC will provide two weekly sailings from China with two direct weekly calls at Bremerhaven and Hamburg. This will provide a direct service without transshipment from all Chinese main ports to Germany.
The revised westbound port coverage of the two services is as follows:
Silk: Ningbo, Shanghai, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Chiwan, Yantian, Singapore, Antwerp, Felixstowe, Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Rotterdam.
Lion: Dalian, Xingang, Pusan, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Nansha, Hong Kong, Chiwan, Yantian, Le Havre, Hamburg, Bremerhaven, Antwerp and Felixstowe.
