MSC EXTENDS ASIA/AUSTRALIA SERVICE TO AFRICA
Mediterranean Shipping Co. has extended its Southeast Asia/Fremantle “Capricorn” service to Africa, thereby adding a second direct link between Asia and Africa.
The revised Capricorn service and MSC’s existing Asia/southern Africa “Safari” service call at Port Louis, Mauritius, in both directions.
The amended Capricorn operation, with a weekly frequency, has a port rotation of Fremantle, Port Louis, Durban, Port Louis, Penang, Port Kelang, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh, Laem Chabang, Singapore, Jakarta and Fremantle.
The service continues to call at Fremantle southbound only. However, MSC retains a northbound Fremantle/Asia service as part of its new Australasia/Singapore/Europe.
