MSC Announces First Sailing on Revised Asia Trade
Westbound sailings to North Europe and the Mediterranean to start in September
Container shipping firm MSC has published sailing dates for its new look Asia network announced Monday, August 17.
MSC’s new East-West Network is made up of 193 vessels which operate across 22 different services between Asia, Europe and the U.S.
The network offers more ports, more weekly departures, faster transit times and improved reliability, MSC said. Additionally, by increasing the average vessel size on the trades while reducing the overall number of ships in operation, the shipper will cut back its CO2 emissions.
