The service will rotate between Jebel Ali, Khor Al Fakkan, Salalah and Mogadishu, starting on 29 January, deploying 1,854teu of capacity every 21 days, in the form of CMA CGM vessel Kailas.

“We strongly believe in the recovery of the Somalian economy and are proud to launch the Noura Express, offering worldwide connections to and from Mogadishu,” said Mathieu Friedberg, senior vp African Lines CMA CGM. “This is the first milestone of our growth plan in this region and there will be more developments in the months ahead.”

The news follows yesterday’s announcement that CMA Terminals would be buying a 25% stake in the Lekki International container terminal in Nigeria.
