Hapag-Lloyd will set up a direct Germany-China service and at the same time cancel three rotations between Asia and Europe
The new China Germany Express line will connect the ports of Hamburg and Dachan Bay
February 16, 2022
At a time like the current one in which the congestion of the logistics chains often prevent maritime carriers containerized to promptly meet the demand, several shipping companies have planned and announced various links that should connect directly supply and demand. However, unlike other services proclaimed as direct but in reality not very suitable to propose an immediate response to the needs of the markets, the China service Germany Express (CGX) presented today by the German company has characteristics designed to meet the requests from producers and consumers, starting from the frequency of the new line that will take place weekly. In addition, the transit time Hamburg-Dachan Bay is scheduled for only 27 days, probably also thanks to the use of eight container ships Panamax which, although smaller in size and therefore of less capacity than the last container carriers generation capable of transporting much larger volumes of goods elevated, they are evidently able to develop a greater browsing speed.
If the new China Germany Express service certainly rewards the city of Hamburg and its port, however, it is likely that the innovation announced by Hapag-Lloyd will result in a concomitant reduction of the overall hold supply of the German company on routes between Asia and Europe. Communicating the decision to inaugurate the CGX line, in fact, the company has made I note that the new service will replace services 6, 7 and 8 between Asia and Europe so far operated by Hapag-Lloyd. Loop 6 connects currently the Chinese ports of Ningbo and Yantian with the European ports of Felixtowe, Le Havre and Antwerp through the Asian hubs of Laem Chabang, Singapore and Tanjun Pelepas. Service 7, through Singapore and Tanjun Pelepas and Tanger Med, connects the Chinese ports of Dalian, Xingang, Shanghai, Ningbo and Yantian and the South Korean one of Busan with the European ports of Rotterdam, Wilhelmshaven, Bremerhaven and Gothenburg. Line 8, through the port hubs of Tanjung Pelepas and Algeciras, connects the Chinese ports of Xingang, Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo-Zhoushan and Yantian and the South Korean one of Kwangyang with the European ports of Rotterdam, Bremerhaven and Gdansk.
