Hapag-Lloyd and OOCL suspend Montreal – Europe service

The Canadian Gateway North Atlantic trade Route 3 service has been temporarily suspended. Due to economic developments, members of the St. Lawrence Co-ordinated Services (SLCS) have advised that the Route 3 service from Montreal to Europe (Hapag-Lloyd's SLCS3 service and OOCL's GEX3 service) will be temporarily suspended, effective immediately.
The SLCS Route 1 service (SLCS1/ GEX1) will be upgraded through additional tonnage, allowing Liverpool to be added to the existing weekly rotation.
The new port rotation is: Liverpool > Antwerp > Southampton > Le Havre > Montreal.
The Route-2 weekly service (SLCS2/ GEX2) covering Hamburg and Antwerp will remain unchanged.
The SLCS has been in operation for more than thirty years, offering a comprehensive year-round service network with deployment of purpose-built tonnage.
SLCS members, which include Germany-based Hapag-Lloyd and Hong Kong-based OOCL, will continue to closely monitor the trade patterns.
