German container line Hapag-Lloyd is introducing a new North Europe – US East Coast Service dubbed AX4.

The AX4 will have the following rotation: Bremerhaven (Germany) – Rotterdam (the Netherlands) – Le Havre (France) – Savannah (USA) – New York (USA) – Bremerhaven.

The 2,510 TEU MV Ulysses will be the first ship to sail within AX4, departing from ETC Bremerhaven on April 28.
