Hamburg Süd resumes West Coast Americas Service

Hamburg Süd announced this week that its West Coast Americas Service (WAMS) will resume direct Oakland calls starting with the voyage of Cap Palliser on May 16, 2015.

The Hamburg Süd statement announced that this completes the re-start phase of full network operation of its U.S. West Coast-based services following the protracted port labor dispute that was

resolved in February.

The shipping line reports that its direct all-water service to and from all major West Coast ports and Asia, Latin America, and Europe, including the Mediterranean and Oceania, is being offered with a total of 10 weekly arrivals and departures. Hamburg Süd maintains full service offices in Long Beach, San Francisco and Seattle.
