The vessel is one of two 8,063 teu OOCL's 'S-Class' ships that COSCO has chartered from OOCL for this run in an exchange involving ships chartered out by OOCL from COSCO for the FE-ME run. The OOCL QINGDAO is the first 8,000 teu ship introduced on the ESA service run so far with 11 ships of 3,400 of 4,200 teu provided by Evergreen and COSCO. Further 8,000 teu-class ships are to follow in the coming weeks, including two ships from Zim which joins this service as a vessel provider. The other ships will be the ITAL CONTESSA (8,073 teu - Evergreen), OOCL NINGBO (8,063 teu - COSCO), VALOR (8,827 teu - Evergreen), ZIM NINGBO (8,440 teu - Zim), LT CORTESIA (8,073 teu - Evergreen), VALUE (8,827 teu - Evergreen), ZIM SAN DIE- GO (8,440 teu - Zim) and VALIANT (8,827 teu - Evergreen). Two other carriers, Maersk Line and Hamburg Süd, are already using 8,000 teu-class ships on the FE-ECSA route (ASAS 1/NGX). The ESA upsize follows the launch of the ’Ipanema’ service by MSC in April. The two services will add about 9,000 teu every week to the FE –South America East Coast.

ALPHALINER Weekly 2013 Issue 19 Maersk’s six WAF loops serving the Central West Africa and Angola involve a total of 33 ships of 1,700 to 2,500 teu, all fully geared to serve ports not equipped, or insufficiently equipped, to handle containers. HMM in 1997-98 and were sold in July 2007 to Danaos Corp., each with a ten-year charter back to HMM. Bengal Tiger Line, which co-loads on the ACS, is involved on the whole rotation while CMA CGM, FESCO and Pan Continental, which took slots on the KR 2, will continue to take slots on the Busan- Vostochny string of the new service. Apart from offering direct Russia-SE Asia-Chennai connections, the inclusion of Vostochny in the ACS also allows all the ACS ships to benefit from the cheaper bunker fuel available at the Russian port, which has motivated several carriers to add this port to their rotation since early 2012, sometimes with the sole purpose of bunkering. Maersk and Sfamarine revise six WAF relay loops Maersk Line and Safmarine are to revamp their relay services covering the Central West Africa and South West Africa ranges, spanning Ivory Coast to Angola. Six loops hubbing at Algeciras and at Tangier are concerned, of which four cover Central West Africa and two are dedicated to Angola. The North West Africa range is not affected by the changes and continues to be covered with four loops. The port coverage remains the same but several ports are swapped between loops to adapt to changing regional patterns. The revised loops stand as follows : Central West Arica range : ► WAF 1 : Tangier, Algeciras, Tema, Pointe Noire, Libreville, Tangier - 6 x 1,700-2,500 teu weekly ► WAF 2 : Tangier, Algeciras, Abidjan, Cotonou, Lome, Tangier - 5 x 2,500 teu weekly ► WAF 3 : Tangier, Algeciras, Lagos-Apapa, Lagos-Tincan, Onne, Takoradi (1/2), Tangier - 6 x 2,500 teu weekly ► WAF 6 - Tangier, Algeciras, Lagos-Apapa, Douala, Abidjan, Tangier - 5 x 2,500 teu weekly Angola : ► WAF 5 : Algeciras, Vigo, Leixoes, Lisbon, Algeciras, Luanda, Walvis Bay, Abidjan, Algeciras - 8 x 1,400-1,700 teu weekly ► WAF 5 plus : Tangier, Algeciras, Luanda, Lobito, Namibe, Tangier - 3 x 1,700 teu fortnightly In addition to this, the Maersk Algeciras-South Africa relay service will omit its northbound call at Luanda and will now focus exclusively on the Med-South Africa sector, connecting Durban, Ngqura and Cape Town to Algeciras. The service deploys seven ships of 1,300-1,700 teu. Page 9 © Copyright Alphaliner 1999-2013
