MOL switches UK ports on West African (ARN) service

MITSUI OSK Lines (MOL) is to call at London Thamesport instead of Felixstowe as it alters rotation on the Africa Rainbow Northern loop (ARN), that connects to New World Alliance's Asia Europe Express (AEX).

"The decision by MOL to relocate this service is a great vote of confidence for London Thamesport," said Hutchison Ports UK CEO and owner of Thamesport David Gledhill. Hutchison also owns the Port of Felixstowe.

The ANR service will deploy three 2,100-TEU and follow a revised rotation of: London-Thamesport, Tangier, Abidjan, Tema, Lagos, Abidjan, Vigo, Antwerp, Zeebrugge and London-Thamesport.
