Germany-based shipping line Hapag-Lloyd has added two new links to its service to West Africa. According to the company it is establishing its own service linking Dakar and Tema in West Africa and Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Southampton in Europe before the end of the year. Two vessels each capable of carrying about 800 standard containers will be deployed, offering departures every 16 days. Transhipment possibilities will be offered from Dakar and Tema to all ports in West Africa.
The shipping company has long focused on the traditional East-West routes, but is now stepping up its presence on North-South routes, particularly services with Africa. It has just started a service to South Africa and offers a further link between the US East Coast and West Africa. It has now decided to expand its existing service from Northern Europe to West Africa at the end of the year. Hapag-Lloyd is represented in West Africa by Sumaco, Abidjan/Ivory Coast, Somicoa, Dakar/Senegal, Blue Funnel Nigeria, Apapa/Nigeria and Blue Funnel Ghana, Tema/Ghana.
