MSC has announced the enhancement of its Levante Express service, introducing new direct port calls at Bremerhaven, Limassol, and Beirut. This development reinforces MSC’s commitment to strengthening its Europe–East Mediterranean network and offering broader port-to-port connectivity across key trade lanes.
The new direct call at Bremerhaven provides a faster and more efficient gateway into Germany’s industrial heartland, complementing existing Northern European connections via London Gateway, Rotterdam, and Antwerp. Meanwhile, the addition of Limassol and Beirut highlights MSC’s focus on the Levant region, enhancing direct and frequent trade opportunities for Cyprus and Lebanon.
The first vessel to operate on the enhanced rotation will be the MSC GIULIA (voyage NL544A), expected to depart from London Gateway on 7 November 2025.
New rotation:
London Gateway – Rotterdam – Bremerhaven – Antwerp – Valencia – Abu Kir – Alexandria El Dekheila – Limassol – Beirut – Mersin – Iskenderun – Naples – La Spezia – London Gateway
This service upgrade reflects MSC’s ongoing strategy to provide reliable, direct, and efficient shipping solutions, supporting customers with improved access between Northern Europe and the East Mediterranean.
