SAL is expanding its service portfolio with the launch of the new SAL Atlantic Service – a semi-liner service connecting Europe, the Americas and Africa through regular, dependable sailings.

Marketed through the global JSI Alliance sales network, the service combines operational expertise with worldwide commercial reach and local customer support.

Operated with five modern and highly efficient shallow-draft multipurpose vessels with crane capacities of up to 500 tonnes, the SAL Atlantic Service combines the flexibility of project shipping with the reliability of scheduled operations. With at least two sailings per month planned, customers benefit from greater planning security, flexible cargo intake and efficient connections across the Atlantic. Designed for breakbulk, heavy lift and project cargo flows, the service provides tailored transport solutions across key international trade lanes.

Based on the initial idea of shipping legend Svend Andersen († 71), this new Atlantic connection will also be named the “Svend Andersen Service” to honour his memory and the ideas and vision that helped inspire the concept behind the service – a tribute to his long-standing impact on the industry.

The service has already commenced with MV Svend and MV Industrial Song.

“As global trade routes continue to evolve, the SAL Atlantic Service reflects JSI Alliance’s continued commitment to delivering reliable, flexible transport solutions for the cargoes that keep industries and projects moving across the world,” says Jens Baumgarten, Commercial Director at JSI Alliance.
