APM Terminals wins direct Asian calls to South America’s east coast

A joint service deployed by Hapag-Lloyd, NYK Line, ZIM, Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) and Hamburg Sud will call at both APM Terminals’ facilities in Itajaí and Buenos Aires, in a boost for the operator.

The weekly Asian service, operated jointly with 13 vessels will call the ports of Kelang, Singapore, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Shekou and Busan before calling at Terminal 4 Buenos Aires in late August.

In Brazil, the first vessel is scheduled to arrive at APM Terminals Itajaí in early September.
