MSC has announced that it will launch its new Eagle Service connecting Australia and New Zealand to the U.S. East Coast starting in February 2026.

This initiative aims to ensure service continuity and reinforce MSC’s commitment as a standalone carrier offering direct transpacific connections to the U.S. East Coast.

MSC will deploy 11 vessels in a weekly rotation. The new route will also offer connections via the Panama Canal to and from Europe, Central America, South America, and U.S. Gulf ports.

Port rotation for the service is as follows:

Philadelphia – Savannah – Freeport – Rodman – Papeete – Auckland – Sydney – Melbourne – Brisbane – Tauranga – Rodman – Cristobal – Philadelphia.
