Diamond Line stocks up NET2 service

Diamond Line, a feeder and short sea carrier, is expanding its NET2 service loop, initially established in 2017 using standard Panamax vessels.

The NET2 service offers direct connections from ports in the United Kingdom and Northwest Europe to the southern regions of Turkey and Levant countries in the East Mediterranean, as well as to Adriatic and Black Sea countries through COSCO SHIPPING’s hub port in Piraeus.

On 18 April, the 280-meter-long vessel named “Xin Xia Men” arrived in Iskenderun, Turkey, marking its debut on the NET2 loop. With a nominal capacity of 5,668 TEUs, “Xin Xia Men” is the first of several vessels that Diamond Line plans to deploy this year.

“Diamond Line is offering 21 services, calling 25 countries, and covering more than 65 ports. Last year, we opened a direct service from Turkey and Spain to Morocco (TSM), resulting in a notable increase in the local market’s import and export container volume. Now, with the enlargement of NET2’s carrying capacity, we have set the cornerstone for stocking up our fleet size in the next years to serve our customers’ increasing demand for capacities and first-class shipping services in Europe and North Africa,” stated HU Hua, General Manager of Diamond Line.
