Seasonal service to deliver fresh fruits from Peru to the USA

Just in time for the main mango and grape season in South America, Hamburg Süd has launched a seasonal service to deliver fresh fruits to port in Philadelphia.

With a transit time of nine days, the service will provide exporters in Peru and US importers with a premium product designed specifically with these sensitive cargoes in mind. Weekly direct connection between Peru (Paita) and US East Coast (Philadelphia) is available from November 2017 to February 2018.
 

“The USA is one of the world’s largest mango importers,” explains Frank Smet, Member of the Executive Board for Hamburg Süd, adding, “With the fast transit time and a fleet of state-of-the-art reefer equipment, Hamburg Süd offers its customers a tailor-made best-in-class product that caters to the strong demand for these fruits in the US market.”
 

Connections to US Gulf Coast and other ports along US East Coast, as well as to Europe, are also available through the extensive Hamburg Süd network via the transshipment hub in Cartagena.
