MSC to provide own Asia/South Africa link after VSA split
Mediterranean Shipping Co. said Thursday it will provide an independent, weekly container service linking South Africa and the Far East after it ends its “Safari” vessel-sharing agreement with Maersk Sealand and Safmarine next March.
Continuing the African theme, MSC will call its replacement service for the Safari link the “Cheetah Service.” It will employ ships of 1,500-TEU capacities, but MSC has not announced the port rotation of the future service.
Maersk Sealand and Safmarine said Wednesday they will operate a joint Asia/South Africa container service next year without MSC.
