The ESE Service will deploy six 2,500 TEU vessels, two each from Hanjin and UASC and one each from COSCON and CCNI. The new ESE service will operate a weekly basis, calling at: Rotterdam > Hamburg > Antwerp > Algeciras > Rio de Janeiro > Santos > Itajai > Santos > Salvador > Algeciras > Rotterdam. A call at Paranagua is being planned for a later stage. The northbound and southbound calls at Algeciras will provide connections to and from the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Far East and Africa.
