Cosco Shipping Lines has introduced a new North Africa Express (NAX) service connecting key ports in China with Libya, expanding its presence in the region.
The service operates with a frequency of one sailing every three weeks and is deployed with three 80,000 dwt vessels, equivalent to approximately 4,300 TEU. These box-shaped general cargo and bulk carriers are owned by Cosco Shipping Development and operated by Cosco Shipping Bulk.
The rotation of the NAX service includes Ningbo, Shanghai, Nansha, Port Said, Benghazi, Misurata and returns to Qingdao.
With this new offering, Cosco aims to strengthen trade links between the Far East and North Africa, providing additional capacity and supporting cargo flows to and from the Libyan market.
