MSC launches Britannia: New standalone loop connecting Asia to north Europe

MSC has announced the creation of its new service – Britannia – that will provide increased port connections via a unique corridor from China - Vietnam to the Port of Liverpool.

The new loop provides access to the port of Vung Tau, creating a direct service to Liverpool and MSC’s hubs in Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg, connecting Scandinavia and Baltic Destinations. This will increase its coverage from China and Vietnam to the UK and Northwest Continent.

The first sailing will be the vessel MSC DENISSE X on 1 July, voyage number QB427W.

The full rotation is: Shanghai – Ningbo – Yantian – Vung Tau – Liverpool – Rotterdam – Antwerp – Hamburg – London gateway – Singapore – Shanghai.

This sought after service connecting Asia to Liverpool direct will complement other direct MSC services to London and Felixstowe to provide an unrivalled premium service network throughout the UK.

MSC is exhibiting at Multimodal on stand 5020 and Peel Ports are sponsoring the VIP Lounge on stand Y2000
