Maersk Line’s M-Express extends to Beira

From October 17 Maersk Line will extend its M-Express service from Tanjung Pelepas to include the port of Beira. “The inclusion of the port will improve transit times to and from Beira and the hinterland countries of Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi,” a spokesman said. “Cargo for Beira load/ discharge will no longer route via Durban and will instead route directly onto the M-Express.” The service will deploy 1600-TEU vessels on the following port rotation: Tanjung Pelepas, Port Louis, Port Reunion, Toamasina, Maputo, Beira, Toamasina and Tanjung Pelepas.
