Rickmers launches North Asia-LatAm-U.S. East Coast service
Hamburg-based Rickmers-Linie announced its new NCS breakbulk service linking North Asia with South America and the U.S. East Coast with four vessels of heavy-lift and rolling cargo capability.
The port rotation is to be Moji, Kobe, Yokohama and Nagoya in Japan; Guayaquil in Ecuador, Cartagena, Santa Marta and Puerto Bolivar in Colombia and Guanta in Venezuela; Port-au-Prince in Haiti; and Savannah, Charleston, Philadelphia on the U.S. East Coast.
The shipping line said Asian ports could be added in Northern China and South Korea.
Rickmers said it sees the new service complementing its existing Pearl String vessels, which sail eastbound and primarily link Japan, China and Korea with the U.S. Gulf on the trans-Pacific leg of their fortnightly round-the world schedule.
