SAFMARINE EXTENDS SAMBA SERVICE TO WEST AFRICA
Safmarine said Monday it has added West African destinations to its SAMBA service, covering South America, Southern Africa, the Middle East, and Indian Ocean islands, effective March 3.
The service extension, to be called the South-West Africa Express, will have the following port rotation: Durban, Cape Town, Luanda, Cotonou, Apapa, TinCan Island, Abidjan, Montevideo, Rio Grande, Itajai, Paranagua, and Santos.
Safmarine, a separately managed member of the A.P. Moller Group, markets its liner shipping services independently from those of Maersk Sealand, Safmarine’s sister company.
