HMM to Operate Routes to South America Starting April

HMM announced on the 16th that it will further improve its container service between Asia and the east coast of South America starting in April. The FL2 (Far East Asia - East Latin America Service 2) service departs from Korea, passing through the Indian Ocean and the Cape of Good Hope en route to South America.

It will operate jointly with the Japanese shipping company ONE. The first departure will be from Busan in the first week of April, with a round trip taking 77 days. The ports of call are Busan (Korea), South China, Singapore, Rio Grande (Brazil), Santos (Brazil), Santa Catarina (Brazil), Singapore, Hong Kong, and Busan in sequence.

At Rio Grande, the first port of call on the east coast of South America, a feeder service connecting to Argentina and Uruguay will be provided. A feeder service is a cargo transport service linking major ports with smaller ports, which is expected to reduce transportation time in the region. An HMM official stated, "We are strengthening our global network in India, South America, and other regions in response to recent market changes."
