In addition to the West African ports (Congo, Gabon, Angola and Cameroon), the WWA service has been extended to two South African ports (Durban and Coega), making Le Havre the 2ndimport port. 
The Dachan Bay Express, the first ship in this rotation, made its first call at Le Havre on April 26, at the Atlantic terminal operated by CNMP.

With competitive import transit times - Coega > Le Havre: 25 days; Durban > Le Havre: 29 days - this direct link consolidates HAROPA PORT's position in the African market. 
The port already has almost 540 commercial offers (200 in Rouen) and reaches 80 ports. In 2023, more than 250,000 TEU were handled.
