Charleston added to Hapag-Lloyd’s Atlantic Express service
Hapag-Lloyd is adding the Port of Charleston to a trans-Atlantic service that links the U.S. East Coast and northern Europe.
The changes are part of an expansion of the shipping line’s Atlantic Express 1 trade route "to further improve our service quality and schedule reliability," according to a company statement.
In the U.S., Atlantic Express 1 will make stops at three ports: New York, Norfolk, Va., and Charleston. The revised schedule notes four ship calls in Europe: Le Havre, France; Rotterdam, the Netherlands, Hamburg, Germany; and Southampton, England.
The expanded service deploys in Europe on Wednesday, November 12, when the MV Houston Express is expected to arrive in Le Havre.
The shipping company is deploying a fifth container vessel, MV Osaka Express, to the expanded itinerary. The 8,700-TEU Osaka Express is expected to make its first U.S. call as part of the Atlantic Express 1 rotation on Nov. 22 in New York, and is scheduled to arrive in Charleston Nov. 30.
