Box lines reshape intra-Europe service networks

Ocean carriers have announced several changes to their intra-Europe services, according to DynaLiners.

In a bold expansion of its shipping services, WEC Lines is now steering a broader course, connecting northwest Europe directly to Portugal, according to Alphaliner.

The details of the two updated WEC Lines services are as follows:

  • Northwest Europe – Spain/Portugal: Dublin, Liverpool, Setubal, Leixoes, Bilbao, Dublin
  • NWC-Canary Islands: Thamesport – Rotterdam – Moerdijk – Bilbao – Vigo – Leixoes – Setubal – Las Palmas – Tenerife – Sines – Setubal – Leixoes – Bilbao – Thamesport

The first service will be operated by two 800 TEU boxships, while the second one will be operated by three 850 TEU container vessels.

Meanwhile, Turkey’s Medkon has streamlined its Turkey-North Africa TNA service, cutting Algiers from the rotation, which now will be Istanbul – Gebze – Gemlik – Tunis – Sfax – Istanbul. Medkon will deploy two 650 TEU feeder container ships on the loop.

Furthermore, French ocean carrier CMA CGM has unveiled the Levant Middle East Express (LMX) service, a robust new link with the following port rotation:

Mersin – Beirut – Jebel Ali – Jubail – Mersin

Three 3,200 TEU container vessels will be used on the LMX service, according to DynaLiners.
