| CSAV Norasia says it is adding for the first time a direct call at the Iberian Peninsula Port of Lisbon in Portugal, linking this European nation to North and Central China.
Starting from the first week in September, the carrier’s ANE service will begin making port of calls in Lisbon that acts as a "congestion-free" gateway on the western point of mainland Europe, offering links to and from major ports in Asia, North Africa and North Europe, a statement from the shipping line said.
It said that weekly feeders and rail freight services are also available for transhipment at Lisbon to other areas in Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with transit times ranging from two to seven days.
"This new call will also provide customers with a leading transit time to Lisbon and Leixoes from China and South-East Asia in an average of 21 days", the release said.
A fleet of eight 6,000-TEU vessels will be deployed on the ANE service on the following port rotation: Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Yantian, Hong Kong, Port Klang, Lisbon, Le Havre, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Port Klang, Da Chan Bay.
