Maersk increases vessel size on Safari service
Maersk Line has raised the capacity on a service linking China and South Africa by increasing the size of its vessels used on the service, according to American Shipper affiliate ComPair Data.
The average vessel size on Maersk's Safari 1 service, on which its subsidiary Safmarine provides one vessel, will increase from the current 5,069 TEUs to 6,628 TEUs once all seven vessels on the service have been switched out. That's a roughly 31 percent increase.
The service has a rotation of Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ningbo, Yantian, Tanjung Pelepas, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town, Port Louis, Tanjung Pelepas, and Hong Kong.
