Safmarine has announced that it has enhanced its '225' fully containerised service between South Africa and west Africa by connecting the latter via Dakar in Senegal and Algeciras in Spain.
The new weekly service, with high reefer capacity, will operate six vessels of 1,100 TEU with direct calls in Durban, Cape Town, Dakar and Algeciras.
'The focus of the new enhanced 225 service on west Africa and its connection in Dakar will enable fast and reliable connections via the MW1 service to Tin Can Island and Douala,' said Safmarine Intra-Africa corridor manager James Lewer.
'The additional new call in Algeciras also offers customers connections with our entire portfolio of services to and from west Africa, the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent, North America, South America and in particular the intra-European feeder services in the west and eastern Mediterranean,' he added.
