MSC Judith at PortMiami

2M Alliance partners, A.P. Moller – Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company, recently selected PortMiami for their Mediterranean/U.S. Gulf Service (TA6).

The new weekly service, which includes a fleet of eight container vessels, expands trade and commerce opportunities connecting major Mediterranean markets to the U.S. via PortMiami.  It will generate an estimated 1,040 twenty-foot equivalent units per call.

The service rotation includes the following ports:

Gioia Tauro, Naples, La Spezi, Barcelona, Valencia, Algeciras, Sines, Freeport, Miami, Vera Cruz, Altamira, Houston, New Orleans, Miami, Freeport, Sines, Algeciras, Barcelona

PortMiami’s independent container terminals, South Florida Container Terminal (SFCT) and Port of Miami Terminal Operating Company (POMTOC), are participating in the operations.

“We welcome the TA6 to our Global Gateway,” said Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez.  “I’m proud that PortMiami continues to steadily expand its cargo business.  We’re witnessing the results of more than $1 billion completed capital infrastructure investments that offer shippers a strategic hub equipped to efficiently handle the world’s ocean carriers.”

“I want to thank Maersk and MSC for recognizing the advantages of selecting PortMiami for their TA6 service,” said Chairwoman of the Economic Development and Tourism Committee Rebeca Sosa. “Expanding business equals more jobs and opportunities for our community.”
