Ocean Network Express (ONE) is adding a new trade lane to its service network connecting Asia and East Africa.

In a statement, it said the new EAF service will complement the ocean carrier's existing Asia-East Africa services (EA1/EA2), and provide a direct service to Kenya and Tanzania, giving customers additional service options and greater flexibility in this growing market.

The EAF service starts from the sailing arriving in Shanghai on 31 March.

The weekly EAF service rotation is as follows: Shanghai – Ningbo – Nansha – Singapore – Port Kelang – Mombasa – Dar es Salaam – Port Kelang － Singapore – Shanghai.

"This new service will increase ONE’s presence in the African market, as we continue to offer excellent, reliable and efficient transport solutions," ONE said in a statement.
