SINGAPORE, 6^th September

Increased capacity and service frequency between key Chinese ports and East African markets with the new FHX and FNX services.

ESL has announced the launch of two new services the Fahari (FHX) service and the Fanaka (FNX) service – evolved from their previous Far East Africa Express (FAX).

Both services provide seamless connectivity between Chinese markets to East Africa. The Fahari (FHX) service will have Mombasa, Kenya as its sole East African call, while the Fanaka (FNX) service has Dar es Salaam, Tanzania as its focus East African market.
 
Both service names – Fahari (Pride or Splendor in Swahili) and Fanaka (Prosperity or Success in Swahili) – were chosen as a reminder of the liner’s commitment to the region: to create splendour through taking pride in their service to the East African market, while continuously driving prosperity for and delivering success to their customers.
 
These service names aren’t just words; they’re a commitment to ESL’s customers and partners, to enhancing service reliability to the region with these direct and consistent weekly services.
