MSC adds Suape call to Gulf–South America service

MSC will add Suape, Brazil, to its Gulf to SAEC I service, expanding the carrier’s coverage of Northeast Brazil on a route connecting the U.S. Gulf, Mexico, the Caribbean and South America’s East Coast.

The new call will be inserted on the southbound leg between Cartagena and Santos, MSC said in a customer advisory published on October 12. MSC

The MSC Yamuna VI will be the first vessel to make the new Suape call and is expected to arrive at the Brazilian port on October 26. MSC

MSC Suape port call added to Gulf to SAEC I rotation

With the addition of Suape, the full Gulf to SAEC I rotation will be:

Veracruz – Altamira – Houston – Cartagena – Suape – Santos – Itapoá – Paranaguá – Itajaí – Santos – Rio de Janeiro – Cartagena – Veracruz. MSC

The service therefore combines calls in Mexico and the U.S. Gulf with Cartagena and a sequence of Brazilian ports along the East Coast.

MSC said the Suape port call is intended to strengthen its coverage of Northeast Brazil. The carrier did not announce any other changes to the service rotation in the advisory.
