MSC is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its new Alpaca service in September 2025, offering customers extremely fast transit times for trade between the Far East and South America's West Coast. This unique weekly standalone service will provide market-leading speeds between Ningbo, China via Busan, South Korea, to Callao, Peru.
The Alpaca service will feature direct calls at Chilean ports while enhancing connectivity to Bolivia's crucial trade gateways at Arica and Iquique. Specifically tailored to meet the demands of the Chilean cherry season, the service will also operate as MSC's Cherry Express, providing the fastest and most dependable solution for exporters targeting Asian markets.
Enhanced by MSC's Smart Reefer technology, the service will ensure maximum cargo integrity, freshness, and visibility for reefer shipments throughout the supply chain.
