It is reported that merchant ship Mitsui, Mediterranean Shipping, and Maersk Shipping have jointly announced a ship sharing agreement on the East Coast route between Asia and South America.

Three liner companies have announced that they will put 22 ships into operation on two loop services on the East Coast route from Asia to South America. Maersk Shipping and Mediterranean Shipping will deploy six 9000TEU container ships on one of the service loop lines, while merchant ship Mitsui will deploy ten 5500TEU container ships on the other loop line.

Maersk Shipping stated in a statement that it will provide transportation services for electronic products and automotive components on the East Coast route between Asia and South America, thereby promoting the development of the Latin American shipping industry. In addition, the company also pointed out that this route is conducive to South American countries exporting protein products to Asia through the East Coast.
