Shipping with our Caribbean Express Service (CES)? Here’s an update for your cargo planning
From end of February 2025, our Carribean Express Service (CES) service will operate with an updated rotation with additional calls at Philadelphia (US) and Port Everglades (US) and will no longer call Norfolk (US) & Kingston (JM).
This enhanced service will enable you to load between Europe, Canada, USA and various ports in the Caribbean.
For your reference, here's an overview of the new rotation:
- Rotation: Antwerp, BE → London Gateway, GB → Hamburg, DE → Rotterdam, NL → Antwerp, BE → Saint John, CA → Philadelphia, US → Port Everglades, US → Santa Marta, CO → Puerto Limon, CR → Caucedo, DO → Antwerp, BE
In case you'd like to plan ahead, here is the first port call of the new rotation, including vessel voyage, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA), port and week:
