PIL starts Far East-Africa loop from Nansha's GOCT

PIL has launched a Far East-East Africa loop (EA2), its second Africa service, from the Guangzhou South China Oceangate Container Terminal (GOCT) at Nansha.

Seven 1,500-TEU ships are deployed on the service that calls at GOCT every Thursday and connects Nansha with Port Louis, Mombasa and Nacala. This brings the number of Africa services at GOCT to four, a company statement said.

With a water depth of 15.5 metres, the GOCT facility features a 2,100-metre quay over six berths, serviced by 18 gantry cranes with an outreach of 65 metres. It is jointly invested and operated by Guangzhou Port Group, Cosco Pacific and APM Terminals.
