MSC revises NWC UK–Greece & Türkiye service rotation

MSC has announced a revised port rotation for its North West Continent (NWC) UK service connecting Greece and Türkiye, as part of efforts to improve schedule frequency and service reliability.

The adjustment follows MSC’s investment in additional capacity and is designed to avoid current port congestion while enhancing connectivity and service coverage across the trade. According to the carrier, the revised rotation will strengthen service commitments for customers throughout the network.

The first vessel to operate under the new rotation will be the MSC Santa Maria, voyage NC606A, which is scheduled to depart Liverpool on 4 February 2026.

Under the revised service, the port rotation will be: Liverpool – Antwerp – London Gateway – Malaga – Piraeus – Thessaloniki – Izmir – Gebze – Tekirdag – Piraeus – Gioia Tauro – Sines – Liverpool.

MSC said the changes are intended to deliver more reliable and efficient connections between the UK, North West Europe, Greece and Türkiye.
