Hamburg Sud and Alianca call at Havana, Cuba

Alianca is owned by Hamburg-Sued. They have not dropped the Alianca name as it is Brazilian Flag and well known.

They operate pretty much as one, except for the coastal trade in Brazil which only Alianca can provide.

The recent announcement of changes to their schedule is rather boring, unless you really need to know this stuff, or just want to brush up on your geography.
Honestly, I had to look up Navegantes, as this port was built only in 2007.

What I did find interesting is the port call at Havana. Of course, you cannot load cargo from the U.S. to Havana, but that doesn't mean every other country can't, and does, ship to Cuba.

This whole Cuba embargo thing by the U.S. is non-sense, and I expect it to change not too long after Obama takes offices.

Hamburg Sued and Alianca adjust vessel port calls

Hamburg Sud and Alianca announced changes to their two-string U.S. Gulf-Central America-Caribbean-South America East Coast (UCLA) service.

The carriers said String 1, offering direct connections between Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and the U.S. Gulf, will now call Houston, Cartagena, Suape, Santos, Rio Grande, Navegantes, Paranagua, Santos, Cartagena, Veracruz, Altamira, and back to Houston.

The rotation for String 2 remains the same, covering Santos, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Puerto Cabello, Cartagena, Santo Tomas de Castilla, Havana, Veracruz, Altamira, Manzanillo, Cartagena, Puerto Cabello, and back to Santos.

The two carriers said the changes follow operational difficulties at ports in Venezuela, while continuing to serve the country's Port of La Guaira via Cartagena, Colombia, through a dedicated feeder service operated by Hamburg Sud.
