Hamburg Sud reshuffles traditional and emerging market trade routes

GERMAN carrier Hamburg Sud is restructuring many of its joint vessel-sharing agreements with other carriers on the trade routes of North Europe and the Mediterranean to Central America and the west coasts of North and South America, from February.

The move is intended to provide connections to its worldwide network, significantly reduce costs, without adding any extra capacity to the market, reported Newark's Journal of Commerce. The company plans to switch the ships it deploys on Eurosal loop 2 with eight 3,500-TEU vessels, replacing the eight 1,800-TEU ships in service. Hamburg Sud and Hapag-Lloyd will continue to provide three vessels each and CMA CGM will deploy two, the report said.

The port rotation of the Eurosal loop 2 will be: Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Le Havre, Kingston, Cartagena, Manzanillo (Panama), Guayaquil, Callao, Paita, Guayaquil, Buenaventura, Manzanillo (Panama), Cartagena, returning to Rotterdam.

It said that Eurosal loop 1, linking North Europe to Central America and the west coast of South America, will remain unchanged and deploy eight vessels, with Hamburg Sud and Hapag-Lloyd providing four ships each.

Loop 1's rotation continues to be Rotterdam, Hamburg, Tilbury, Antwerp, Caucedo, Cartagena, Manzanillo (Panama), Callao, Valparaiso, Callao, Manzanillo (Panama), Cartagena, Caucedo and back to Rotterdam.

In addition, Hamburg Sud will join Hapag-Lloyd in the MCPS service between the Mediterranean and the west coast of North America by providing two out of the ten 2,500-TEU ships operated on the service. The service will also become a weekly offering.

The report said that by participating in the MCPS service, Hamburg Sud is extending replacing the current service between the Caribbean and the Mediterranean (CAMS).

The port rotation of the MCPS service will be Cartagena, Manzanillo (Mexico), Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles, Manzanillo (Mexico), Manzanillo (Panama), Cartagena, Caucedo, Tangier, Valencia, Cagliari, Livorno, Genoa, Marseilles-Fos, Barcelona, Valencia, Tangier and back to Cartagena.

As a result, Hamburg Sud's west coast service (WAMS) will focus on serving the trade on the North American west coast - Caribbean range. This will consequently connect Hamburg Sud services with the Caribbean, east and west coasts of South America, North Europe, Mediterranean and US Gulf.

The service will deploy four 1,750-TEU ships, with Hamburg Sud providing three and CCNI one, the report said. The port rotation will be Cartagena, Puerto Quetzal, Manzanillo (Mexico), Long Beach, Oakland, Manzanillo (Mexico), Lazaro Cardenas, Puerto Quetzal, returning to Cartagena.
