UASC continues to take slots on combined MSC/Maersk Asia-ECSA service

UNITED Arab Shipping Company (UASC) is continuing to take slots from Maersk Line on the new joint service operated with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), branded the Bossa Nova.

The Bossa Nova service has been created by merging the two MSC and Maersk Line Mediterranean-east coast South America services.

The move means that UASC will continue to offer connections between the Far East and Middle East to the Brazil through transshipment at Algeciras in connection with its Far East-Med loops and with the Middle East-Indian subcontinent-Mediterranean leg of its MINA service, reports Alphaliner.
