JAPANESE shipping line MOL and Taiwan's Evergreen are changing the port rotation for their joint South China-Vietnam Express (SVS/AUE) service that connects Asia to the US east coast via the Suez Canal.
The changes involve shifting back the Cai Mep call in Vietnam and removing wayport calls at Algeciras, reported Alphaliner.
The call at Cai Mep, currently occurring on the return leg to the Pearl River delta, will be shifted after the two Pearl River calls, shaving five to seven days off the Cai Mep to US east coast transit time.
The service will then offer the fastest connection from Vietnam to the US east coast.
The new rotation will be implemented with the Hong Kong sailing on July 12. The service turns in 11 weeks with 11 ships of 6,300-7,000 TEU, ten of which are provided by MOL and one by Evergreen
APL, Hapag-Lloyd, HMM and NYK Line take slots on this service within the framework of the G6 container shipping alliance.
