From July 2013, Hamburg Sud 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 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 July 21, 2013.

In the opposite direction to the SABR Service, Hamburg Sud 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. < Korea Shipping Gazette >
