To provide a best-in-class service to our customers for the Citrus season, we are making some deployment changes to our SAECS service.

We will extend our WAF1 product into Port Elizabeth for exports to Europe. The WAF1 vessel will then connect to the SAECS service in Port Tangier.

Updated Routing:

Port Elizabeth - Port Tangier via WAF1; then Port Tangier - Rotterdam - London Gateway - Bremerhaven on SAECS.

The first vessel will be the CELSIUS BOSTON 319N, Port Elizabeth ETA: 31 May 2023.
