Swiss/Italian container line MSC will adjust its new standalone services, Swan and Britannia aiming to enhance its network.
Swan service will become Swan-Sentosa to provide a new corridor for Eastbound cargoes to and from Southeast Asia. The new pendulum service will include additional westbound calls in Qingdao and Busan, while there will be no change in its current Northwest Continent rotations.
The Swan-Sentosa rotation will be the following:
Qingdao (China) – Ningbo (China) – Shanghai (China) – Yantian (China) – Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia) – Felixstowe (UK) – Antwerp (Belgium) – Hamburg (Germany) – Gdansk (Poland) – Gdynia (Poland) – Klaipeda (Lithuania) – Bremerhaven (Germany) – Antwerp – Singapore – Laem Chabang (Thailand) – Vung Tau (Vietnam) – Busan (South Korea) – Long Beach (US) – Oakland (US) – Busan – Qingdao
Additionally, MSC will change the rotation of Britannia to make Hamburg its second port call in Europe. This will result in the following rotation:
Shanghai (China) – Ningbo (China) – Yantian (China) – Vung Tau (Vietnam) – Liverpool (UK) – Rotterdam (Netherlands) – Hamburg (Germany)– Antwerp (Belgium) – London Gateway (UK) – Singapore
