Hanjin Shipping is participating in Asia - South Africa direct service effective end of this month. Named SFX (South Africa Express), this service connects Asia and South Africa directly calling Shanghai, Ningbo, Keelung, Hong Kong, Shekou, Port Kelang, Durban and Cape Town. Hanjin Shipping will be participating in the service through slot chartering, ranging from 250TEU to 300TEU according to vessel size, starting from Shanghai on October 31st.
Hanjin Shipping comments, “We are delighted to participate in this direct service from Asia to South Africa. It will certainly help us build presence not only in Durban, where we have already been providing service, but in Cape Town as well. We hope South Africa will become the gateway for us in expanding our business network throughout East and West Africa.”
Meanwhile, Hanjin Shipping, one of the key players in East-West route such as the Transpacific and Asia-Europe trades, is continuously expanding its service network to North-South route by introducing new services including WAF (West Africa Service) and ALW (Asia-Latin America West Coast Express Service) launched early this year. Last July Hanjin Shipping also opened a dedicated terminal in Algeciras, Spain, which is expected to become a hub port in the Mediterranean and African regions.
