Gold Star Line to enhance its Asia-West Africa Service
HONG KONG's Gold Star Line is pleased to announce an upgraded and enhanced Far East-West Africa Service (FAX) from February 2016.
Two direct sailings per week, offering improved transit times from more ports of loading in Asia to more ports in West Africa are the key advantages of this improved service.
The FAX, or Far East-West Africa Express, deploying 11 vessels, will rotate through Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong, Guangzhou-Nansha, Singapore, Port Kelang, Colombo, Lagos (Apapa), Tincan (TICT), Tincan (P&CHS), Tema, Cotonou, Abidjan, Singapore and back to Shanghai.
FA2, or the Asia, West Africa Service operating 12 vessels will rotate through Shanghai, Ningbo, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Shenzhen-Shekou, Guangzhou-Nansha, Singapore, Lome, Lagos-Tincan, Lagos-TICT, Tema, Abidjan, Colombo, Port Kelang, Singapore and back to Shanghai.
The new service lineup will add Xiamen and Shekou to the ports of loading and Abidjan and Lome in West Africa. An east-bound connection at Colombo will offer superior transit time to exporters in West Africa.
Said Gold Star Africa trade chief Reuben: "The realigned structure will provide customers with more options on this important trade, as part of our ongoing efforts to better services to our customers."
