CMA CGM Launches KORA Express, Establishing Direct Weekly Link between Northern Europe and Lekki Port
The service will be
operated by vessels with a capacity of approximately 4,200 TEUs and will cover
the rotation Southampton–Vlissingen–Antwerp–Tanger Med–Algeciras–Tema–Lekki
Port–Cotonou–Dakar. With transit times
to key West African destinations, including Nigeria, Ghana and the Republic of
Benin, designed to be as short as 15 days, the new service is expected to
enhance trade connectivity and provide businesses with improved access to
international markets. The
introduction of KORA Express marks another significant development for Lekki
Port, reinforcing its position as a modern maritime gateway and strengthening
its integration into global shipping networks.
The new weekly connection is expected to create
greater opportunities for trade, improve shipping connectivity and facilitate
stronger commercial links between Northern Europe and key West African
economies.
