New shipping line calls at Mombasa port

COSCO Container Lines Company made its maiden call at Kenya’s port of Mombasa last week with the MV City of Beijing. This follows the deepening and widening of the port last year, according to the Kenyan press. The People online newspaper reports that the shipping line has appointed Rais Shipping Services as its agents in Kenya. Rais Shipping Services’ Mahesh Wanigasekera reportedly said the shipping line would be participating in a joint service with Evergreen Shipping Line and X-Press Feeders on the Asia-East Africa (AEF) shuttle service.
