DP World Strengthens China–Africa Corridor With New Shipping Link

DP World’s Shipping Solutions AMEA business (“Shipping Solutions”) is expanding its China–Africa shipping network with the launch of the China Africa Link, a new weekly service designed to strengthen connectivity between the Far East and Africa, providing customers with greater choice, enhanced market access and more resilient supply chains. Operated by Shipping Solutions, the China Africa Link is scheduled to commence in late November 2026, strengthening maritime connectivity between China and the growing markets of East and Southern Africa.

The service will operate the following port rotation: Shanghai (China) – Ningbo (China) – Nansha (China) – Port Klang Westport (Malaysia) – Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) – Maputo (Mozambique) – Singapore – Shanghai (China). The rotation will provide additional connections between major Chinese export gateways and key African markets, supporting the movement of goods across established and emerging trade routes.

The China Africa Link is a tangible example of DP World Marine Services’ Connected Trade Corridors approach, bringing together maritime solutions, ports and inland transport to create more integrated and flexible trade networks. By expanding shipping connections into key African gateways, the service will provide customers with additional routing options, support growing trade flows and strengthen links between regional and international markets.
