Hapag-Lloyd will start its annual Cherry Express service between Chile and Asia starting November 11.

The seasonal express service connects Valparaiso and Hong Kong, along with other Asian ports like Shanghai, Busan, Keelung, Ho Chi Minh, Tokyo, among others.

The Cherry Express will connect Valparaiso, Chile, with Hong Kong in 22 days and with Shanghai and Keelung in 27 days, being the most extensive special service in the market during the cherry season.

It'll take 29 days to Busan and Ho Chi Minh, and over a month to some of the other stops.

Hapag said it has a complete network of feeders that guarantees the flexible delivery of its cherries to other destinations in Asia through Hong Kong.

"At Hapag-Lloyd, we make sure your cherries arrive fresh at their destination. Cherries are a sensitive valuable commodity with a short season and require a high level of expertise to transport," the German international shipping company said.

Ten vessels will be deployed on the Cherry Express starting with the departure of the ship Cauquenes from Valparaiso.
