CSAL adds Charleston to the line's port rotation
Canada States Africa Line, a newly launched multipurpose line, is adding Charleston to the port rotation for its breakbulk/roll-on, roll-off service between North America and southern Africa, the Journal of Commerce reported.
CSAL provides a monthly service with regular ports of call at Montreal, Baltimore, Charleston Savannah, New Orleans and Houston in North America; Walvis Bay in Namibia; Durban, Richards Bay and Cape Town in South Africa.
A number of ports, such as Tema, Ghana; Tamatave, Madagascar; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and others en route are supported on an inducement basis.
CSAL deploys a fleet of four multi-purpose ships with a stern ramp and heavy-lift gear for bulk, breakbulk, rolling stock, heavy-lift and oversize cargoes.
The Atlantic Eland called Veterans Terminal at the Port of Charleston on May 30, followed by the Atlantic Impala on June 10. The next sailing is scheduled for the middle of August.
From July to May, breakbulk, ro-ro and bulk business at public docks in South Carolina increased more than 44 percent to 883,675 tons, the South Carolina State Ports Authority said.
