Container giant, Hapag-Lloyd has upped-the-ante in East Africa with the launch of its new East Africa Service 3.

EAS3 will offer direct weekly sailings between China, Southeast Asia, Kenya, and Tanzania.
“The new service line EAS3 to the East African region and particularly our port is a testament of the confidence that Hapag-Lloyd and other shipping lines have in the port of Mombasa,” said Rashid Salim, Kenya Ports Authority acting Managing Director.
