The new route – to be christened AX4 – will see a weekly run from the ports of Bremerhaven, Rotterdam and Le Havre to Savannah and New York.
The new service will complement German container line Hapag-Lloyd’s existing Atlantic network.
The AX4 will have the following rotation: Bremerhaven (Germany) – Rotterdam (the Netherlands) – Le Havre (France) – Savannah (USA) – New York (USA) – Bremerhaven.
Transits between north European ports and New York are between 13 and 16 days.
The 2,510 TEU MV Ulysses will be the first ship to sail within AX4, departing from ETC Bremerhaven on April 28.
