APM Terminals has welcomed the first call of Hapag-Lloyd’s new fortnightly West Africa Service (WA1) to the Liberian port of Monrovia.
The fortnightly WA1 service connects Tanger Med, Nouakchott, Freetown, Conakry, Monrovia and back to Tanger Med.
In a statement issued yesterday (10 July), APM Terminals said that service ‘establishes Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia as new markets for the shipping line and further boosts import and export economic opportunities in the region’.
APM Terminals has operated at the port of Monrovia since February 2011 and its facility is the only container and general cargo terminal in Liberia.
