• 1. East African ports

     

     

     

    :Mombasa Mombasa (Kenya)
    Dar es Salaam - Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)
    These two ports are the gateway ports of East Africa, and many landlocked countries transit through them. The two shipping companies MSK and safcarine should account for the largest share of East African routes. The two shipping companies adopt the cooperation mode of sharing shipping space, with stable shipping schedule and fast voyage, but there are still some differences in freight. Generally, saf's freight is lower than MSK's. saf has become the first choice of many shippers because of its advantages of fast shipping schedule and low freight. PIL's East Africa route is its old route, so it is also the most popular shipping company for designated goods. Therefore, many factories and trading companies designated PIL ships will be met on the route, mostly due to the requirements of the consignee. Because of the assignment, the freight is higher.
    Due to the shortage of goods in Singapore during the peak season, PIL will often be overstocked in Singapore. CMA, PIL, one and MSC have also operated on this route for many years, but the price fluctuates greatly, so they can choose from time to time.
