Mitsui OSK Lines has announced an upgrade of its service network linking India, Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa, starting in July.
The service will be offered in partnership with Singapore-based Pacific International Line (PIL) and Mauritius-based Laurel Navigation Ltd (LNL), with each company providing three ships in the new service plan.
MOL will increase space for cargo bound for East Africa, deploying four 1,200 TEU ships on a fixed-day weekly frequency, calling at Karachi > Nhava Sheva > Jebel Ali > Mombasa > Dar es Salaam > Karachi.
At the same time, MOL will start a new service between India/UAE-South Africa-West Africa, adding direct links to India/UAE and West Africa with the fastest transit time in the market as well as enough space capacity for this emerging market.
The addition of regular calls at Cape Town on return voyages will allow MOL to offer competitive service, especially for reefer cargo.
The new service will deploy five 1,200 TEU vessels calling at Jebel Ali > Nhava Sheva > Durban > Lagos > Cotonou > Tema > Cape Town > Durban > Jebel Ali. Service frequency will be every twelve days.
