Effective April 17, 2006, with the arrival of the CAP SAN AUGUSTIN (040S), vessels of Hamburg Süd's East Coast Americas (ABUS) service will begin calling Port Everglades, Florida.

Florida International Terminal (FIT) will provide Port Everglades terminal and stevedoring services as it already does for Hamburg Süd's rotations linking Florida with Venezuela (VENEX), and the U.S. East Coast with West Coast South America (AGAS).

The shift of the ABUS service completes the consolidation of all of the company's South Florida activities at Port Everglades: Florida International Terminal.

The last call of the ABUS service at Miami will be the CAP SAN ANTONIO (039S) on April 3, 2006.
