Med Canada Service (MCA) – Service Update - Trade between the Mediterranean and Canada

Hapag-Lloyd will supply all five vessels on the MCA service.

25 Sep 2012

The Med Canada Service (MCA) is our prime product between Canada and the Mediterranean.

By the end of November 2012 Hapag-Lloyd will supply all five vessels and continue to offer this fixed day weekly service on a standalone basis after the Hanjin withdrawal from this trade.

The present port coverage will be extended through an additional eastbound call at Lisbon. On October 21, 2012 the Milan Express will be the first vessel to call at the Portuguese capital on its eastbound voyage.

This step will improve the transit time from Montreal to Portugal to 9 days and will provide new opportunities for exports from Lisbon.

Connections to further Mediterranean destinations, West Africa, Far East, India, Middle East and North America can be offered via Hapag-Lloyd’s hub ports of Algeciras and Cagliari as well as Valencia.
