Subject: MOL discontinuing participation in the Europe – West Africa Trade
Dear Valued Customer,
It is with deep regret that we inform you that we have decided to discontinue our participation in the Europe – West Africa Trade. Our aforementioned decision is inspired by the poor financial results of our Europe – West Africa service and the fact that based on the present market outlook and cost exposure conditions for an improvement of the results are not favorable. Below you can find an overview of the final MOL Europe-West Africa sailings:
Southbound
ARN: Mv. Atlantic Voyager 012A
ETD Antwerp, 3rd of August 2015
ARX: Mv. Dimitris C 03181S
ETD Antwerp, 31 st of July 2015
Northbound
ARN: Mv. Atlantic Voyager 012B
ETD Tema, 29th of August 2015
ARX: Mv. Dimitris C 03281N
ETD Abidjan, 22nd August 2015
Our above decision does not do away with our commitment and believe in the West African market. Therefore we will continue with the development of our Asia-West Africa products and the development of the MOL organization within West Africa. We would like to thank you for your support and apologize for any inconvenience our decision may cause. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact your local sales office. Contact details can be found on our website www.molpower.com.
Yours faithfully, MOL Management
