Hamburg Sud boosts OZ/NZ service
German container shipping company Hamburg Sud is upgrading its Trident Service, which links Northern Europe with Australia/New Zealand, to a weekly frequency.
The company says: “This upgrade is a result of the extremely positive response of the Hamburg Sud customers to the Trident Service since its launch in February 2006.”
Six 2,500 TEU ships, each with 450 reefer plugs, will be added to the new weekly fixed-day service, increasing the total number of vessels employed to twelve.
The upgraded service will cover various trade areas on its route from Europe via the US Atlantic to Australia/New Zealand. Hamburg Sud says that integration of the hub port Cartagena (Columbia) permits a fast linkage of the Trident Service with other Hamburg Sud services offering rapid reliable connections to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean as well as to South America East and West Coast.
