The new shipping schedule published by shipping alliance 2M for its Europe-Asia route is set to give the Port of Rotterdam an advantage, report online sources.
The shipping alliance, formed by Maersk Line and MSC, has given the Port of Rotterdam an extra first port of call and last port of call position in the itineraries of the largest vessels.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority expects a substantial increase in 2M container volumes as a result of the proposed shipping schedule, reports Port Technology.
