OTAL EXPANDS SERVICE TO LAS PALMAS
OT Africa Line, the specialist West African shipping line, said it has expanded its North Africa regional service to include calls at the Port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands every other week.
Las Palmas has been a bunker call for OTAL vessels serving the North Europe/West Africa trades. However, the carrier sees potential for direct trade between the Canary Islands and mainland West Africa.
The North Africa service rotation is now Dakar, Banjul, Nouakchott, Las Palmas (alternate sailings), Casablanca, Dakar.
The two 400-TEU feeder vessels connect with OTAL's weekly Hebdo service that calls at Dakar every Monday.
OTAL has appointed Caniship as its agent in Las Palmas.
