BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has issued a port rotation change for two of its services that re-introduces Port Everglades as a weekly call beginning this month.
The shipping line’s re-imagined EMUSA service that travels from the Mediterranean to the U.S. is expected to call Port Everglades on a fixed weekly schedule. The first call will be November 5 with the MSC Dorine.
Port Everglades is also the only Florida stop for MSC’s U.S.A. to east coast of South America (SAEC) service. The MSC Cadiz is scheduled to call on Mondays beginning November 11.
According to MSC’s press release, the U.S.A. to SAEC rotation was revised to “maintain schedule reliability.”
With the weekly services, consumers in South Florida and beyond can expect a variety of imports and exports from ceramic tiles and spirits to lumber and steel products.
