Gulf to SAEC String 1 Service - Itajai Added to Port Rotation
29/04/2026
As we aim to continuously improve network reliability, MSC will be introducing changes to our GULF to SAEC String 1 service.
Starting with the MAERSK CHAMBAL Voyage 618A/623R, Itajai will be added as a new Brazilian port of call between Paranagua and Santos.
The addition of Itajai to the service will add another entry point for cargo into Southern Brazil and facilitate further trade across the Americas.
Should you have any questions, please contact your local MSC representatives in our global network of more than 675 offices.
