MSC starts West Africa feeder

MSC starts West Africa feeder    Swiss liner carrier MSC said this week it will begin a West African feeder service connecting ports in Liberia and Sierra Leone to Cote d'Ivoire.
   Starting in early February, the dedicated feeder will use one vessel every 10 days, with a rotation of San Pedro (Cote d'Ivoire), Monrovia (Liberia), Freetown (Sierra Leone), and San Pedro.
   MSC said the feeder will connect San Pedro with Europe via transshipment in Valencia and Las Palmas. The line said it will initially use OBT Shipping, Ltd. as agents in both Liberia and Sierra Leone but that it plans to 'establish MSC Agency Offices in both countries in due course.'
