Hapag-Lloyd announces new service – Dakar Express (DEX)

We are pleased to inform you that Hapag-Lloyd will further enhance our West Africa product. As of week 47, Hapag-Lloyd will introduce the DEX (Dakar Express) Service which will offer weekly sailings from North Europe to Senegal and Mauretania and vice versa. In addition, these markets will be well connected with our Global Mainline Network via Tangier.

At the same time we will remove Dakar from the WAX (West Africa Express) which will significantly reduce operational stress on this service and improve the schedule reliability.

The DEX will be composed of 4 x 1700 TEU vessels, all operated by Hapag-Lloyd, with following rotation:

Antwerp – Dunkerque – Lisbon – Tangier – Dakar – Nouakchott – Tangier – Leixoes – Antwerp
