Shipping line Safmarine MPV has added a new Europe-West Africa service dedicated to the oil and gas industry.
Energy – the new service – will allow a direct connection from Aberdeen, Antwerp and Portugal with the Nigerian port of Onne and Luanda, Sonils, Soyo and Lobito in Angola.
The merger of the firm’s former ACE and OPEX businesses will also offer a fast, direct liner service for industrial projects, conventional cargo and containers between Europe and selected ports in West Africa.
“Since becoming an independent and separate business unit within The Maersk Group a year ago, our goal has been to build a strong foundation for Safmarine MPV and to establish a product portfolio that allows us to better serve our growing customer base in the oil and gas and multi-purpose markets,” said Jorg Knuttel, Safmarine MPV managing director.
“This is a goal we believe we have achieved by launching the new service and merging two former services.”
