From July 2013, Hamburg Süd will be offering a new service from South Africa to Argentina and Brazil (SABR Service) in cooperation with Nile Dutch. The new fixed-day fortnightly service will provide shippers with a regular and reliable westbound link from South Africa to South America with connections to Europe and North America.

The new service rotation will be: Durban – Port Elizabeth – Buenos Aires – Rio Grande – Itajai – Santos – Rio de Janeiro.

Further destinations in South America, North America and Europe will be offered in transhipment.

The first westbound call at Durban will be with “Buxfavourite” on 21 July 2013.

In the opposite direction to the SABR Service Hamburg Süd serves the trade from South America to South Africa with its New Good Hope Express Service offering twice-weekly direct links from Brazil and the River Plate to South Africa.
