Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has announced the launch of a new service to Bissau, the capital city of Guinea-Bissau, on the coast of West Africa, with connections via Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria, one of Spain’s Canary Islands.
“This fortnightly service will enable import and export to/from Guinea Bissau via our transshipment hub Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, offering connections with the country’s main trade partners in Asia, Europe and South America East Coast,” said MSC in a statement.
The company believes that the new service, which is expected to start soon, will enhance its presence in the region, where MSC has already had a network of direct and feeder services connecting West Africa to the rest of the world.
