Safmarine shakes up Europe-West Africa services

8/29/2011 10:18:26 AM

Safmarine has reshuffled a number of its existing West Africa shipping services and introduced three new services – the WAF11, WAF12 and WAF13 – as part of its revised West Africa service portfolio. Dirk Geens, Safmarine’s Africa trade director says the three new services – WAF 11, WAF 12 and WAF 13 – will not only serve the market between Europe and West Africa but also the other markets that we serve through transhipment in Port Tangier or Algeciras, particularly Asia, the Americas, Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. The overall network will offer competitive and improved transit times to all key ports in West Africa. “For example, transit times from Algeciras to Onne have decreased from 21 to 14 days and from Algeciras to Cotonou from 20 to 12 days.” Port rotations for WAF 11, WAF 12 and WAF 13 are as follows: WAF 11: Algeciras (Spain), Port Tangier Mediterranee (Morocco), Lome (Togo), Onne (Nigeria). WAF 12: Algeciras (Spain), Port Tangier Mediterranee (Morocco), Abidjan (Ivory Coast), Cotonou (Benin). WAF 13: Algeciras (Spain), Port Tangier Mediterranee (Morocco), Dakar (Senegal).   Cargonews Asia
