Shipping line makes maiden trip as MV Northern Valence docks in Mombasa
May 25, 2021
Vessel deployed by Hapag-Lloyd, which is among the top ten shipping lines in the world in terms of volume, made her maiden voyage at the Port of Mombasa over the weekend.
The visit marked Hapag-Lloyd launching its new service – East Africa 3 – connecting the East African region to leading ports in the Far East.
With direct connections between ports in the Far East such as Malaysia, Singapore and China, Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, the shipping line has now joined other world top 10 container shipping companies that dock at the Port of Mombasa.
Some of the leading shipping companies that ply the port of Mombasa include Maersk, Mediterranean Shipping Company, CMA-CGM, China Ocean Shipping Company and Evergreen.
The container volumes carried by the new line are expected to progressively increase over the next few months which will be a boon to the Port of Mombasa driving business growth.
