OOCL will be extending its East Mediterranean service network to the Middle East and Indian Subcontinent by introducing the new Middle East / Indian Subcontinent – East Mediterranean Service (EM3) to be launched in January, 2019.
The EM3 provides direct linkage between the Middle East, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Greece and Turkey, offering more competitive and reliable services than transshipment options. It also provides fast transit times to Egypt and Turkey.
