CHIQUITA Brands' shipping arm is to revise its west coast service from California to Guatemala and Ecuador from a 10-day port rotation to weekly by slot-sharing on the German carrier's Hamburg Sud's new US West Coast-WCSA service.
During 2012, the fruit shipping company, Great White Fleet (GWF) replaced its capacity of three 10,000 dwt reefer cargo vessels with two high reefer capacity box ships, the 2,758-TEU Calandra and 2,492-TEU Crystal Bay. Through slot sharing it will shift Crystal Bay to the GWF's US east coast-Costa Rica-Honduras service and will redeliver the Calandra.
The Hamburg Sud service will add the port call to Port Hueneme, 60 miles from Los Angeles/Long Beach ports, in order to meet the volumes generated by GWF service which had called at the port on route from Puerto Quetzal to Guayaquil.
