posted by AJOT | Jan 19 2016 at 10:20 AM | Liner Shipping
This development aims to meet the growing demand from exporters in the East Coast of the USA for better access to their markets in West Africa. The new service will be operated by NileDutch in cooperation with Turkon Line.
Ports
The port rotation will be: New York – Norfolk – Savannah – Tangier. In Tangier the cargo will be transferred onto the NileDutch WEWA (West Europe – West Africa) service which calls on Abidjan, Pointe Noire, Luanda, Lobito and Namibe. All cargo towards the USA out of West Africa and Europe will be facilitated as well.
NileDutch not only serves these key West African ports but also operates an extensive network of feeder vessels in the region which carry cargo between regional ports (Matadi, Soyo, Boma, Bata, Malabo, Cabinda, Douala and Libreville).
