Three lines team up on West Africa service

Evergreen Line will team up with Hanjin and UASC to launch a new West Africa Service (WAF) at the end of this month. The new service will provide a transhipment link to the Far East and Europe via Algeciras and extend Evergreen Line's global service network to West Africa. Four ships of 2 800-3 000 TEU will be deployed in the joint service. Evergreen Line and UASC will deploy one vessel each with the other two ships operated by Hanjin. The first sailing is planned from Algeciras on May 30. The port rotation for the 28-day voyage is as follows: Algeciras – Lagos – Tema – Abidjan – Algeciras
