New combined road-rail service in East Africa
MSC has introduced its first intermodal service in Ethiopia. The new solution combines road and rail transport between Djibouti and Ethiopia and facilitates smooth imports and exports out of landlocked Ethiopia.
Imports can be trucked from Djibouti to Addis Ababa or Modjo in Ethiopia in three days, to Hawassa, the road journey takes four days. Exports can be shipped by rail from the Indode or Modjo rail stations in Ethiopia to Dijbouti in one day.
The new service connects Maersk’s network to the Port of Djibouti, Ethiopia’s main gateway to the Far East and China, Northern Europe, USA and the MED and IPAK regions, the company said. (ben)
