  • MSC va aligner 14 PC dans un service direct sur l’Australie/Nouvelle-Zélande
    Entre la mi- et la fin janvier, l’armement MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) va lancer un nouveau service avec une flotrte de quatorze porte-containers d’une capacité de 2.300 à 2.400 TEU. Au départ de l’Europe du Nord, ce service desservira la Méditerranée, les îles de l’océan Indien, l’Australie et la Nouvelle-Zélande, avec retour via l’Asie du Sud-Est. Ce nouveau service se substituera à l’actuel service que MSC assure au départ d’Europe du Nord vers l’Afrique du Sud avec prolongation sur l’Australie. La congestion en Afrique du Sud, plus précisément à Durban, implique des retards que l’armement ne peut plus supporter. L’Afrique du Sud fera donc l’objet d’une desserte directe séparée.
