Seago Line plans to be a direct service between the British Isles and Spanish transhipment hub Algeciras, linking customers to markets in the Mediterranean and North Africa.
In a joint statement, Maersk Line and Seago said, “[the new service will allow] easier access to other trades and help sister companies Maersk Line and Safemarine deliver for their customers in the North West of England and Ireland.
“Most notably, the new shortsea service creates a great opportunity for a West Africa product offering with a new transhipment option to connect both markets to Nigeria.”
