MSC is launching a new service scheduled to commence in September 2025, offering customers extremely fast transit times for trade between the Far East and the west coast of South America – including market-leading speeds between Ningbo in China, via Busan in South Korea, to Callao in Peru.
This unique weekly standalone service will call directly at Chilean ports, while also improving MSC’s connectivity to Bolivia’s crucial trade gateways at Arica and Iquique.
Tailored to meet the demands of the Chilean cherry season, the Alpaca service will also operate as MSC’s Cherry Express, providing the fastest and most dependable solution for exporters targeting Asian markets. Enhanced by MSC’s Smart Reefer technology, the service will ensure maximum cargo integrity, freshness, and visibility for reefer shipments throughout the supply chain.
The full rotation of the service is as follows:
Ningbo (CN) – Busan (KR) – Callao (PE) – Arica (CL) – Iquique (CL) – San Antonio (CL) –Nansha (CN) – Hong Kong (CN) – Ningbo (CN)
