SAL has launched the SAL Atlantic Service, a semi-liner operation connecting Europe, the Americas and Africa through regular Atlantic sailings.
The service will be marketed through the global JSI Alliance sales network, combining operational expertise with commercial reach and local customer support.
According to the company, the SAL Atlantic Service will operate with five shallow-draft multipurpose vessels equipped with crane capacities of up to 500 t. The service is designed to combine the flexibility of project shipping with the reliability of scheduled operations.
With at least two sailings planned each month, the service is intended to provide customers with improved planning reliability, flexible cargo intake and efficient Atlantic connections. It is tailored for breakbulk, heavy lift and project cargo transportation across key international trade lanes.
The concept for the service was developed from an idea by Svend Andersen. In recognition of his contribution and the ideas that inspired the project, the Atlantic connection will also carry the name “Svend Andersen Service.”
The SAL Atlantic Service has already commenced operations with the vessels MV Svend and MV Industrial Song.
Jens Baumgarten, Commercial Director at JSI Alliance, said the service reflects the alliance’s commitment to delivering reliable and flexible transport solutions for cargoes supporting industries and projects across the world.
