Hapag-Lloyd last week named the “Hamburg Express,” the first of 10 13,200 20-foot-equivalent units container ships, the largest in the German ocean carrier’s fleet, which will deployed on the Asia-Europe trades.
The new vessel will join the G6 Alliance’s loop, which starts in Hamburg and calls at Rotterdam, Singapore, and the Chinese ports of Yantian, Ningbo and Shanghai, before returning via Yantian, Singapore and Southampton. It will replace an 8,000-TEU ship currently deployed on the route.
