EUROSAL CONSORTIUM UPGRADES EUROPE/SOUTH AMERICA SERVICE
The five-member Eurosal consortium of ocean carriers has announced that it will add two further ships to its Europe and West Coast of South America service. As augmented, the service will employ ten 1,850-slot ships.
The members of Eurosal include CMA CGM, CSAV, Hapag-Lloyd, P & O Nedlloyd, and HSDG.
The carriers, which are also members of the NCS consortium, will adjust coverage of their Caribbean and Central American market to complement the new Eurosal service. Some minor changes in port rotation are expected.
