Grand Alliance confirm first Amsterdam call
Grand Alliance carrier NYK has confirmed the alliance will start calling at the relatively minor port of Amsterdam in August.

The “NYK Procyon” is also the first sailing on the new Grand Alliance “loop F” Asia/Europe service, which will call Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Kaohsiung, Singapore, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Southampton, Gioia Tauro, Singapore, Kaohsiung and Shanghai.
