It’s interesting to see how MSC is expanding its intermodal network and providing better support for various industries. With the new rotation, the transit time from Europe to the US has been significantly reduced, which will benefit businesses in terms of cost and time.
True that.The expansion of the ScanBaltic service to include a port call in Jacksonville is a strategic move by MSC. The Southeast US is a growing market with increasing demand for imports, and MSC is well-positioned to serve this market with its global network and intermodal capabilities.
