With effect from 1 January 2009, the
Hamburg Süd shipping group is replacing its Costa Container
Lines (CCL) brand with its name, in order to present
itself worldwide under a unified brand.
Hamburg Süd took over the liner operations of the
long-established Italian shipping company on 1 December 2007.
CCL is recognised as a specialist in the Western
Mediterranean - South America (east and north coast), as well as
between South America East Coast - Mexico/Caribbean, lines.
These operations are complemented by an extensive network of
feeder services in the Eastern Mediterranean and the
Caribbean.
Through brand consolidation Hamburg Süd is seeking to
harmonise all its operations, exploit synergies and, as a
result, achieve added value for its customers. Therefore the change
of name will be accomplished with the assurance of absolute
continuity.
