MOL to Upgrade the Service between Europe and South Africa

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd. is pleased to announce that, with effect from January 2007, we will resume the weekly frequency on the Intermediate Service between Europe and South Africa. This service is run in cooperation with DAL Deutsche Afrika-Linien GmbH & Co. KG, Maersk Line and Safmarine Container Lines N.V.

This service upgrade is being implemented to meet the seasonal requirements for increased capacity and frequency and will, together with the Lines’ weekly Core Service, provide for two weekly-named day services on the trade between Europe and South Africa.

We will provide further information on the port rotation and vessel details as this becomes available.
