Grand Alliance adds Vietnam to Europe service

New Vietnam services continue to flow in thick and fast. Grand Alliance members Hapag-Lloyd, Nippon Yusen Kaisha and Orient Overseas Container Line announced that there will be a direct Vietnam call at Cai Mep (Vung Tau) deepwater port on Loop D (LPD) of the Asia–Europe service from March 30, 2011.
The direct Vietnam coverage on LPD will provide a 21-day transit time from Cai Mep (Vung Tau) to Southampton.  
Rival grouping the New World Alliance announced a similar Vietnam service offering to Europe last month.
