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

The line’s MV Northern Valence made its maiden call in Mombasa on Saturday before proceeding to the port of Dar es Salaam.

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.
