New services could be on the cards

Safmarine is carefully monitoring its service portfolio, adapting to supply and demand patterns. “We have pulled out of the Transpacific and Australia trades,” says CEO Tomas Dyrbye, “but we are looking at all our services – not only with a view to terminating those that are not performing, but also opening new services to ensure that we have the best product in the market.” Details of possible changes are not for public consumption, although he acknowledges that Africa, the Middle East and India are the line’s home turf.
