Danish container giant Maersk will launch a new seasonal ocean service, the Korosho Express, specifically designed to support the Tanzania cashew trade.
The bi-weekly seasonal ocean service will operate from Tanzania’s Mtwara port to facilitate cashew exports from Tanzania to key destination markets.
As informed, the Korosho Express will provide bi-weekly sailings from the port of Mtwara to key markets in China, Vietnam, and India.
The service will commence operations in late October 2024 and run through February 2025, aligning with the peak cashew season.
“The introduction of the Korosho Express service reflects our dedication to providing tailored logistics solutions that address the specific needs of our customers,” commented Babafemi Jay Aderounmu, Head of East Africa market for Maersk’s ocean business.
“By offering reliable, scheduled services during the peak cashew season, we’re enabling more efficient trade flows and supporting the growth of this vital export commodity,” Aderounmu added.
