MSC splits out Chinook-Clanga service

has announced updates to its emergency fuel surcharge (EFS) on cargo moving between Northern Europe, the Red Sea and East Africa.

MSC reverses course by splitting its combined Chinook-Clanga service back into separate routes.

According to Alphaliner, MSC has decided to decouple the Middle East-Far East-US/Canada Pacific Northwest pendulum service that had only been merged in June.

The two services now operate independently with the following distinct itineraries:

Chinook – Ho Chi Minh (Cai Mep), Hai Phong, Shenzhen (Yantian), Ningbo, Shanghai, Qingdao, Busan, Seattle, Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Busan, returning to Ho Chi Minh

Clanga – Qingdao, Shanghai, Ningbo, Guangzhou (Nansha), Singapore, Nhava Sheva, Dammam, Hamad, Jubail, Bahrain, Colombo, returning to Qingdao.
