United Africa Feeder Line launches India Mauritius Madagascar Africa Service (IMMA)

United Africa Feeder Line (UAFL) will team up with Evergreen Line to launch the new "IMMA" Service linking the Indian Sub-Continent with Mauritius, Madagascar, South Africa and Mozambique from late April 2013.

Three 2,500 teu vessels will be deployed on the joint service. The first sailing is scheduled from Karachi (Pakistan) on the 22nd of April 2013.

The rotation of the bi-weekly service will be: Karachi – Mundra – Colombo – Port Louis – Tamatave – Durban – Maputo – Nacala – Karachi.

United Africa Feeder Line currently operates the Middle East Express (MEX) Service into East Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands, together with a number of regional feeder services. The addition of the "IMMA" Service enables UAFL to support the growing trade between ISC countries and IOI / South & East Africa, and yet again it re-emphasizes UAFL’s commitment to its customers in the region and to the region in general.
