We are writing to inform you of upcoming changes to the BossaNova & Samba services rotations.
Your partnership remains of the utmost importance to us and as your integrated logistics partner, we constantly monitor our routes to ensure that your supply chain moves with agility, connectivity, and ease.
We are excited to share that Maersk will offer a direct service from/to Northern Europe to/from Rio Grande instead of the transhipment product today. This will improve transit time and reliability of our Rio Grande product.
Further, the removal of Rio Grande from BossaNova will significantly improve the schedule reliability.
