Saecs upgrades to cater for seasonal demand

ALAN PEAT
WITH THE seasonal requirements for increased capacity and frequency, the SA-Europe Container Service (Saecs) – comprising Maersk Line. Mitsui OSK Lines, Safmarine and Deutsche Afrika-Linien (DAL) – is to resume its weekly frequency on the intermediate service from January. Together with the consortium’s weekly core service, this provides two weekly named-day services on the trade between Europe and SA. The schedule, port rotation and vessel details for the upgraded intermediate service have yet to be announced.
