Safmarine has enhanced its existing Safari - Southern Africa-Far East - service with the introduction of a new string dedicated to the Indian Ocean Islands and Mozambique.
"Our new Safari 3 string will complement Safmarine's existing service offering and market coverage of Southern Africa," said Safmarine's SA trades executive, Alex de Bruyn.
He added: "Not only will it improve our direct coverage of the niche ports of Toamasina and Maputo to and from Asia, but it will also strengthen Safmarine's service into South Africa by taking the Indian Ocean Islands out of the westbound rotation of the main Safari string where our customers require fast transit times."
The new string will launch July with five 1700 TEU vessel catering to both dry and reefer cargo.
