Maersk has added another feeder on the new 26Z service, the Korosho Express, in efforts to provide sufficient capacity for all of its customers volumes.
The two vessels will call Mombasa terminal at a 42-day frequency each, with berthing spaced 21 days apart.
This announcement comes a month after Maersk announced the completion of its divestment of Maersk Supply Service (MSS), a leading provider of global offshore marine services and project solutions for the energy sector.
