Arkas Line enhances its West Africa service

Arkas Line has announced that it will enhance its West Africa operations by exclusively using its own fleet, boosting efficiency and expanding its regional network.

After its recent expansion into India, Arkas will now operate the West Africa Service (WAS) with four vessels — Mario A, Cristina A, Jean Pierre A, and Diane A — each with a 1,600 TEU capacity.

The WAS, with weekly sailings, will offer shorter transit times and more flexible solutions.

The updated route — Tangier, Casablanca, Dakar, Lagos (Tincan/Apapa), Tema, Abidjan, Nouakchott, Tangier — supports Arkas Line’s sustainable growth strategy.

In January, Arkas Line strengthened its international presence by extending its route to India.

One month later, Arkas Line launched a new service, India Med Service (IMS), which will deliver cargo from the Mundra and Nheva Sheva ports to commercial centres in India’s railway connection.
