On April 8, the multi-purpose vessel "Guoyunhai" owned by COSCO Shipping Bulk Lines successfully berthed at the Phase II Terminal of Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port, marking the successful maiden voyage of the company's first container liner route, the North Africa direct route. This new channel will build an efficient and direct maritime transportation line between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the North African market.
It is understood that this route is the first container liner route operated by COSCO Shipping Bulk and is currently in operation with 80,000-ton multi-purpose ships. The sequence of ports of call is: Qingdao—Incheon—Shanghai—Ningbo—Nansha—Suez Canal—Port Saidsi—Benghazi—Misrata—Valencia. Through this layout, stable direct shipping has been achieved between Nansha Port and Port Said in Egypt, Benghazi Port in Libya and Misrata Port. The shortest voyage from Nansha to North African ports only takes 21 days. It is worth mentioning that this route provides the fastest delivery time from Nansha to Libya in the current market, with obvious transportation timeliness advantages.
