A new service between East Africa and Asia is coming your way

East Africa and Asia have an enhanced connection. Starting March 2022, two East African gateways will feature dedicated services to match the market capacity demands towards major Asian ports. In a nutshell, our current East Africa and Asia, EAS3, will be focusing its service capabilities to connecting Kenya with Asia, while our brand new EAS4 will ensure a direct link between Tanzania with Asia.

This new service design translates into cargo planning reliability where you can:

• Ensure planning flexibility through weekly services for both ports.
• Expand your coverage opportunities between Chinese key ports, including the Pearl River Delta (Nansha) and East Africa.
• Reach other Asian ports via Singapore and Port Kelang, Malaysia with our comprehensive mainliner and feeder network.
• Connect with our inland services to Burundi, Congo, Malawi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Uganda and Zambia via the Mombasa and Dar-Es-Salaam gateways.

With your cargo planning in mind, here are a few details on the services. Our current EAS3 service that used to cover both Kenya and Tanzania, will now offer a dedicated and weekly coverage for Mombasa, Kenya. The weekly rotation will have the following structure:

• Qingdao – Shanghai – Ningbo – Nansha – Singapore – Port Kelang – Mombasa – Port Kelang – Singapore – Nansha – Qingdao
