Hapag-Lloyd to Revise West Africa Express Service with Direct Damietta Link
Hapag-Lloyd is set to alter its West Africa Express service rotation from September 2026, adding a direct connection between Damietta and West African ports.

German ocean carrier Hapag-Lloyd has announced upcoming adjustments to its West Africa Express (WAX) service, introducing a revised rotation designed to connect the Mediterranean, Türkiye, and the West African region.
The restructured loop is scheduled to enter into effect from September 2026, providing revised scheduling across the trade corridor.
Under the new configuration, the WAX service will introduce a direct shipping link between the Egyptian port of Damietta and key maritime destinations across West Africa.
The revision will alter the existing port rotation to streamline transport links connecting regional hubs in the Mediterranean and Türkiye with West African import and export gateways.
