Why the Rio de Janeiro call matters
Adding Rio de Janeiro gives shippers another direct port pair on the Asia–Brazil east coast lane. Instead of planning only around Santos or Itapoá, cargo can be quoted to Rio or connected through Rio to Argentina on ONE's RPX feeder.
- Direct Asia–Rio coverage. SX2 publishes westbound service from Pusan, Shanghai, Shekou and Singapore to Rio.
- Three Brazil calls. Rio de Janeiro, Santos and Itapoá give different port options for importers and exporters along Brazil's east coast.
- Argentina connection. The RPX feeder links Rio de Janeiro with major destinations in Argentina.
- Two-way planning. The eastbound leg connects Santos, Itapoá and Rio with Singapore, Cai Mep and Haiphong.
What Chrislion handles for you
