Liner giant MSC is debuting a new ro-ro service to West Africa.

It is aiming to win rolling, project and break bulk cargo.

The run starts on 19 February from Le Havre.

Two modern vessels will be deployed, the 6,700-ceu car carriers MSC Immacolata (built 2012) and MSC Cristiana (2011).

They will operate fortnightly between Le Havre, Antwerp, Dakar, Conakry and Abidjan.
