Since May 2010, Evergreen and WHL have been operating the liner service between Colombo and East Africa with satisfactory results.
To provide customers with greater efficiency and convenient transport service, Evergreen, WHL, MOL and Seacon (a Singapore carrier) will inaugurate the AEF route with shortened rotation cycle starting from major Southeast Asia transhipment hubs in Singapore and Malaysia to Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa.
The AEF service will deploy six ships with capacity between 1,200-TEU and 1,350-TEU. Evergreen and WHL will supply two vessels each and MOL and Seacon, one each. The Evergreen Damali will initiate the weekly AEF service from Singapore on April 24, 2011 with the following 42-day port rotation: Singapore-Tanjung Pelepas-Port Klang-Mombasa, Kenya -Dar es Salaam, Tanzania-Singapore.
