MSC is aware of the concerns among South African freight forwarders regarding the future of direct weekly sailings to the United States.
The company issued the following statement:
"We want to reassure South African freight forwarders that MSC is committed to maintaining a robust connection on this vital trade lane. MSC will continue to operate a dedicated, standalone service from South Africa to the USA. To ensure continued reliability and to effectively meet the needs of our customers, MSC will deploy an extra four vessels to maintain a weekly direct connection between South Africa and the United States. In total, eight vessels will be deployed for this unique service."
"This adjustment is designed to ensure seamless continuity of service and uphold a stable, direct connection on the South Africa-USA trade route for the foreseeable future. We are dedicated to supporting the trade needs of our South African partners."
