New Europe/South Africa service planned
The Southern Africa Europe Container Service consortium said it will introduce an additional container service to accommodate primarily the seasonal increase in refrigerated exports from South Africa to Europe during the period February to August 2010.
Frequency of service and ports of call for the service, to be known as the SAECS Reefer Express, will be adjusted according to seasonal demands of the perishable/refrigerated products market and will supplement the capacity provided by the main weekly SAECS core service.
SAECS member lines are Safmarine, Maersk Line, Deutsche Afrika Linien and MOL.
