APL enters Montreal/North Europe direct trade
APL will enter the Montreal/North Europe container trade at the end of next month under a slot-charter agreement on the “Canex” service.
The weekly service, operated with three ships of P&O Nedlloyd, Maersk Sealand and Mediterranean Shipping Co., has a rotation of Le Havre, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, Montreal and Le Havre.
“This new service adds to existing coverage we provide customers using our own tonnage in the North Atlantic trade,” said Ken O’Brien, Atlantic trade director at APL.
APL serves transatlantic customers in Canada and the Midwest via New York.
