Multi-purpose, project cargo, and heavy-lift operator AAL has added a new monthly Asia-Europe liner service and a monthly Med / Middle East / India service to meet growing demand.
Eike Muentz, General Manager of AAL Europe explained: “We have listened to the market and increased our … multipurpose services to support a plethora of customer needs with more tonnage and more connections”.
The new service will offer a range of heavy lift multipurpose vessels from 19,000 deadweight to 33,000 deadweight. The service will also employ the company’s “SuperB-Class” veessels, which offer a lifting capacity up to 700 tonnes and a clear weather deck space of over 5,000 square metres. This will enable the service to take a wide range of cargo parcels.
Jan-Henrik Heyken, Senior Chartering Manager at AAL Europe, added: “The Europe – Asia Express Liner Service will depart key project cargo hubs in Western Europe and connect them directly with Taichung, Shanghai, Masan and other port calls considered on inducement along the route.
