In November 2016, SeaLand, a unit of the Maersk Group, announced two new calls to its improved North Atlantic Express (NAE) service that includes the Port of Turbo in Colombia and Puerto Moin in Costa Rica.
The service is designed to create more connections across the SeaLand network, serving the west coast of South America, as well as Central America, the Caribbean and US East Coast. Shippers requiring refrigerated services across this network will benefit from competitive transit times, state-of-the art reefer equipment, and highly trained professionals monitoring the cold chain every step of the way.
Southbound voyages from the US East Coast began December 12 with the first arrival set for December 23 at Turbo, Colombia. The first northbound voyage of the revised NAE rotation begins December 23 with the MV Margarete Schulte, Voyage 1701 and departure from Puerto Moin, Costa Rica on December 27 for arrival January 2, 2017 at Philadelphia PA.
