Ocean Network Express has announced a revision to the rotation of its Latin East Coast Europe Express (LUX) service, aimed at enhancing schedule reliability and strengthening its service offering between Europe and Latin America.
Under the updated configuration, the company will permanently remove Felixstowe from the rotation, along with southbound calls at Paranaguá. The changes are designed to streamline operations and improve overall service consistency.
The revised rotation will take effect with the vessel Navios Vermilion v.163S/N, scheduled to arrive in Rotterdam on May 6, 2026. The new port sequence will be Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Lisbon, Algeciras, Santos, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, ItajaÃ, Paranaguá, Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Algeciras and return to Rotterdam.
The last vessel to call Felixstowe under the current rotation will be NYK Diana v.022N/023S, with an estimated arrival on April 23, 2026. Meanwhile, the final southbound call at Paranaguá under the existing rotation will be performed by Brooklyn Bridge 0179S/N, expected to arrive on May 23, 2026.
According to the company, the adjustments are expected to enhance operational efficiency, improve reliability and further strengthen its Europe–Latin America trade lane coverage.
