Hapag-Lloyd is launching a new service connecting ports in Peru and Chile.

The WCSA Feeder 4 (WS4) service is set to commence in June and vessels will calle the following port rotation: Callao (Peru) – Iquique (Chile) – Puerto Angamos (Chile) – Arica (Chile) – Callao (Peru).

Hapag-Lloyd said the first boxship deployed on the new rotation will be the 2023-built Cape Bruno, which is expected to arrive at Callao port on 5 June.

The German Ocean carrier said the new service will provide stronger schedule reliability, and extended port coverage, while the service is expected to replace transshipments from San Antonio in Chile to Callao.
