ZIM has upgraded North Europe-West Africa service offering a weekly service from main ports in North Europe and West Africa.

The upgrading of this service is part of a slot-exchange agreement with Hapag-Lloyd, enabling ZIM’s customers to use MOL’s African Rainbow (ARN) between North Europe and West Africa in addition to the present NAF service.

ZIM is offering customers a two strings’ service:

•Amsterdam - Hamburg - Antwerp - Dakar - Tin Can Island - Tema - Abidjan - San Pedro - Amsterdam

•Antwerp, Thamesport, Dakar, Tema, Lagos (Tin Can Island), Abidjan, Vigo, Antwerp

This new set-up is part of ZIM’s ongoing effort to improve its services to customers and extending its coverage of the African trades, which currently include, among others:

•NAF – North Europe & West Africa by a two strings’ service

•MAF – Med & West Africa – including transshipment from Americas to West Africa via Tarragona
