Container lines enhance intra-Europe services

Several box carriers have announced updates on their intra-Europe routes, aiming to optimize and strengthen their service networks.

Later in February, Ocean Network Express (ONE) will launch the new Polish Shuttle (PLS), which will link Northwest Europe with Poland. The company will deploy one 1,100 TEU ship on the service that will call Hamburg (Germany), Rotterdam (the Netherlands), Gdynia (Poland), Gdansk (Poland) and back to Hamburg.

Additionally, Turkish ocean carrier Medkon Lines will introduce a link between Alexandria and Israel, branded as Israel Egypt Express (IEX). A single 700 TEU vessel will cover the following rotation:

Alexandria (Egypt) – Ashdod (Israel) – Haifa (Israel) – Alexandria

Moreover, Israel-based shipping line ZIM will join CMA CGM as a slot charterer on Unimed’s new feeder service. The service is operated by a single 700 TEU ship, serving Izmit (Turkey), Istanbul (Turkey), Burgas (Bulgaria), Varna (Bulgaria) and back to Izmit.
