Maersk adds Cashew calls to FEW 1 Maersk Line has added seasonal calls at Bissau (Guinea) and Cochin (South India) on the backhaul leg of its Asia-West Africa 'FEW 1' loop. These extra calls are motivated by seasonal cashew volumes. Raw cashew nuts is a main export of Guinea-Bissau and the state of Kerala is a main importer, with large cashew processing plants located there. It makes this state one of Bissau main trading partners, with Cochin a main gateway for raw cashew imports. As the two cashew calls impliy an extra distance and extra port stays, extra ships will be added to the service, which is usually run with ten geared ships of 2,500 teu. Maersk adds Libya connections through slots Maersk Line is to take slots on the Port Said-Libya feeder services maintained by Malta-based Bahari Shipping. Bahari launched this service in December 2012 with the chartered 1,042 teu MEKONG SPIRIT and has since progressively enhanced it with three more chartered units, the 1,561 teu THERMAIKOS (January), the 500 teu LADY HALUOM (March) and the 1,373 teu TARRAGONA (April). UFS and Metz enhance Greece feeder coverage United Feeder Services (UFS) and Metz Container Line (MCL) are to launch this week a Malta-Greece feeder shuttle, using the 508 teu BF CARTAGENA. This new weekly common feeder shuttle will complement the existing Malta-Greece service that UFS and MCL provide through slots on the Malta-Greece and Greece-Malta legs of CMA CGM's North Europe Med Express service (FEMEX). Besides, UFS and MCL also cover Greece with another common feeder service hubbing at Damietta and Port Said. Maersk Line and Seago Line (APM-Maersk intra Europe arm) are to use the new Marsaxlokk-based shuttle at the expense of the Damietta-based shuttle. Page 10 © Copyright Alphaliner 1999-2013
