Hapag-Lloyd WAX Service Update

The following advisory was published by Hapag-Lloyd:

With your cargo planning in mind, we will introduce a new direct connection between Türkiye and key West African ports – all while continuing to support your Intra-Europe demands. Starting May 2025, our updated WAX service will combine the strengths of our former XMX and WAX services – delivering enhanced coverage, improved transit times, and increased flexibility.

What’s in it for you:

  • Direct connection from Izmit, Gemlik & Istanbul (Türkiye) to West African ports
  • Additional capacity for your Intra-Europe cargo needs, with reliable links between Türkiye, Casablanca, and Barcelona
  • Service fully operated by Hapag-Lloyd – ensuring flexibility and reliability

New WAX Service Rotation:

Izmit (Turkiye) -> Gemlik (Turkiye) -> Istanbul (Turkiye) -> Casablanca (Morocco) -> Tanger Med (Morocco) -> Tema (Ghana) -> Lome (Togo) -> Cotonou (Benin) -> Lagos (Tincan / Apapa) (Nigeria) -> Onne (Nigeria) -> Casablanca (Morocco) -> Tanger Med (Morocco) -> Barcelona (Spain) -> Izmit (Turkiye)
