P&O NEDLLOYD, MAERSK, WAL CHANGE EUROPE/AFRICA PARTNERS

   P&O Nedlloyd is ending its north Europe/West Africa slot-charter agreement with Maersk and starting a joint service with West Afrika Linien instead.
    In early September, P&O Nedlloyd will stop using the three northern Europe/West Africa loops (the "Maxi," "Elisa" and "Congo/Angola combo" services) operated by Maersk and its subsidiary CMB Transport.
    It isn’t known whether Maersk will revise the services following the departure of P&O Nedlloyd.
    The new northern Europe/West Africa service of P&O Nedlloyd and West Afrika Linien will commence in early September with four ships sailing at a 10-day frequency. Previously, West Afrika Linien’s service had three ships.
    The service will call at Felixstowe, Antwerp, Le Havre, Dakar, Conakry, Abidjan, Tema, Lagos, Douala, Takoradi, Abidjan and San Pedro northbound.
    P&O Nedlloyd said that it will buy space from other lines to serve ports in Gabon, the Congo and Angola.
