Hapag-Lloyd enhances Caribbean Express Service

In order to strengthen and optimize its presence in the Caribbean and Central America markets to North Europe and vice versa with a continued focus on serving the Reefer segment as well as Special Cargoes Hapag-Lloyd has enhanced its current and weekly Caribbean Express Service (CES) as follows:

For export cargoes as of M/V BALAO (outbound) Voyage 002S starting in London on January 5, 2020 the company will offer the new rotation in the Caribbean and Central America.

The new rotation in North Europe will start with the same voyage M/V BALAO Voyage 002N sailing from Kingston on January 22, 2020.

With these changes Hapag-Lloyd will provide you with a dedicated Reefer product with highly competitive transit times and the respective connectivity to the major markets in North Europe and the Caribbean and Central America.
