German carrier to add seventh container ship to weekly service

Hamburg Sud will add a seventh container ship to its weekly service between the U.S. Gulf, Mexico and Central and South America.

The German carrier said it is upgrading the service to provide more buffer time in the schedule integrity in light of congestion in Brazilian ports.

The southbound port rotation of the service will be as follows: Veracruz, Altamira, Houston, Cartagena, Suape, Cartagena, Santos, San Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Paranagua, Itapoa and Navegantes.

The change will be effective with the departure of the Cap San Augustin from Houston on Jan. 17.
