05 Apr 2012

Hapag-Lloyd informs about an improved West Africa service network.

We are pleased to inform you about our improved West Africa service network.


As from May 2012 we will upgrade our West Africa service network with a homogenous and modern fleet. The West African, Mediterranean and European service structure will be covered with two slings.


The West Africa Express (WAX) will sail with six vessels weekly and an improved transit time of 42 days round voyage instead of 49 days.


The new WAX service will no longer call at Lagos but add Tangier on the southbound leg with the following new rotation:


Antwerp ? Amsterdam ? Hamburg ? Thamesport ? Antwerp ? Tangier ? Dakar ? Tema ? Abidjan ? San Pedro ? Antwerp
