Maersk starts new Far East/West Africa service
Maersk Line said it will begin a direct service between the Far East and West Africa on Sept. 3 and revise the port rotation on an existing service between the regions.
The Far East-West Africa 2 (FEW2) service will connect Port Klang, Malaysia, and Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia, in the Far East with three West Africa ports: Lome, Togo; Cotonou, Benin; and Apapa, Nigeria.
The company has also renamed and revised the schedule of its current WAF 10 service.
Now known as the Far East-West Africa 1 (FEW1) the service will connect Nansha on the Pearl River Delta in China, Hong Kong, and Tanjung Pelepas in Malaysia with these West Africa ports: Walvis Bay, Namibia; Tema, Ghana; and Apapa.
Maersk said it will maintain its own feeder network and own offices in destination and origin countries.
