Maersk to buy slots from Hapag-Lloyd on ECSA Mexico USGC loop
22Nov 2009
Source:CI Online
Maersk Line has concluded a slot agreement with Hamburg-based Hapag-Lloyd and will from early December start buying space from the latter carrier on its GS1 service connecting east coast South American ports (ECSA) with the Gulf of Mexico. The GS1 loop is maintained as joint service with Chile's CSAV group.
The deal, which involves an unspecified number of slots, will improve Maersk's service offerings to/from Mexico. In particular, transit times will be cut and overall levels of reliability stepped up in key corridors, such as Veracruz and Mexico City. Previously, traffic carried between ECSA and Mexico City had been routed via Mexico's west coast port of Lazaro Cardenas.
