MSC Goes Direct from South America to Middle East

Starting in October, we will introduce a direct service to the Middle East market, with Abu Dhabi acting as a key transshipment hub. This new link is especially designed for reefer cargo moving to the main Persian Gulf destinations. South American exporters and Middle Eastern importers will benefit from faster transit times to Abu Dhabi and other key ports in the region with cargo delivered to Abu Dhabi in less than 33 days, Shuwaikh in 38 days, and Hamad in 39 days.

The first sailing will depart from Itajai with the vessel MSC SHREYA B., voyage QJ539R.

The updated rotation will be as follows:

Buenos Aires – Rio Grande – Itajai – Navegantes – Paranagua – Santos – Rio de Janeiro – Walvis Bay – Abu Dhabi –Singapore – Qingdao – Busan – Ningbo – Shanghai – Shekou – Singapore – Colombo – Rio de Janeiro – Santos – Paranagua – Itapoa – Itajai – Buenos Aires
