If you're shipping within the Mediterranean and to or from the Black Sea, here's an update for your cargo planning.
In March we're starting with two new services: the Cross Med Express (XMX) and the Black Sea Express (BSX) which are together replacing our current West Med Black Sea (WBS) service. They will provide efficient coverage between the Black Sea and East Med to Egypt, the West Med and Morocco.
Some of the highlights of our revised products include:
XMX
The port rotation will be the following: Istanbul (TR) → Izmit (TR) → Gemlik (TR) → Tangier (MA) → Casablanca (MA) → Barcelona (ES) → Istanbul (TR)
BSX
The port rotation will be the following: Istanbul (TR) → Port Said (MA) → Istanbul (TR) → Constanta (RO) → Istanbul (TR)
