Safmarine MPV, the specialist project cargo and breakbulk cargo operator to West Africa, has appointed Norton Lilly International as its full liner agent in the United States. The appointment follows the decision by the Danish AP Moller-Maersk Group to establish the Antwerp-based Safmarine MPV as an independent business unit with its own, separate agency network. Safmarine MPV is leaving the Maersk Line/Safmarine agency network, which will continue to represent the AP Moller-Maersk Group’s container business.
