Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world's second largest container vessel operator, has announced it will change it South Africa to UK/Northwest Europe service to make a direct call at the deepwater London Gateway port instead of the Port of Felixstowe.
The new rotation will start from 7th December with the arrival of the MSC Rita - first MSC vessel to call into DP World London Gateway
“The best-in-class facilities and inspection systems established at DP World London Gateway's Border Control Post will play a vital role in meeting the needs of this new service," said Tabare Dominguez, DP World London Gateway Port Commercial Manager. “The EMCS will carry a large quantity of fruit and fresh produce. The time-critical nature of this cargo goes without saying. Furthermore, at DP World London Gateway, importers can be confident of fast and efficient inspection procedures, and a rapid and reliable turnaround of trucks at the terminal.”
Hamburg Süd and CSAV also opt for London Gateway
DP World London Gateway will also acta as the UK port of call for a brand new service operated by Hamburg Süd connecting the North European market with Mexico, Central America and Colombia. The first ship to call into DP World London Gateway on this weekly, fixed-day Europe-Mexico-Caribbean Service (EMCS) will be the Cap Beaufort, arriving this week.
This comes alongside a weekly call by Chilean line CSAV announced as part of its reconfigured Europe-Middle East/India (IMEX) services, which will join the already established EPIC service at DP World London Gateway. 
“We are delighted to announce yet more services into DP World London Gateway. This is a real vote of confidence in our service levels, facilities and location,” said CEO Simon Moore. “Shipping lines and shippers are increasingly recognising the benefits of using the UK’s new deep-water container port. DP World London Gateway continues to expand its network of services, adding to the choices for shippers looking to streamline their supply chains, cut their costs and reduce their carbon footprint.”
