Greta Shipping is expanding its Middle East, Red Sea and Indian Subcontinent network with four new services, according to Alphaliner.

From mid-October, the carrier will join Maersk as a vessel provider on the weekly Salalah–Mogadishu HAX/Musafir Express.

Initially, the partners will contribute one vessel each, with capacities of approximately 1,700 TEU and 2,500 TEU. Greta Shipping plans to add a second vessel in January 2027, replacing the tonnage provided by Maersk.

In addition, Greta Shipping has launched three standalone services:

  • The fortnightly Salalah–Khor Fakkan Express (SKX)
  • The India–Red Sea service (IR), operating every three weeks between Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Port Sudan
  • The fortnightly India–Oman Service (IOS), connecting Nhava Sheva and Sohar

The additions expand Greta Shipping’s coverage across the Middle East, East Africa, the Red Sea and the Indian Subcontinent.
