“At Hamburg Süd being customer-oriented also entails reacting flexibly to the demands of our customers. This includes making our transport capacities available to them when they are particularly needed,” explains Frank Smet, Chief Commercial Officer Hamburg Süd, adding, “After the successful launch last year, we have now resumed our seasonal service for mangoes and grapes.” With the fast transit time and a fleet of state-of-the-art reefer equipment, Hamburg Süd offers a tailor-made best-in-class product that caters to the strong demand for these fruits in the US market.

Connections to the US Gulf Coast and other ports along the US East Coast, such as Houston, Port Everglades and New York, as well as to Europe, are also available through the extensive Hamburg Süd network via the transshipment hub in Cartagena.
