CMA CGM Short Sea Lines has added Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT), operated by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) in the Port of Rijeka in Croatia, to the port rotation of its recently launched Bora Med service.
The new service, which began on 23 December 2024, in Antalya, creates a long-term marine connectivity between Turkey, the Adriatic area, and the Eastern Mediterranean.
It replaces the intra-Mediterranean SSLMED Turkey Med Express 3 (TMX3) service, providing the Adriatic market with an improved service that includes larger ships of up to 2,500 TEUs and a wider port rotation.
The port rotation is as follows: Antalya – Izmir – Aliaga – Ambarli – Gebze – Gemlik – Malta – Ancona – Ravenna – Venice – Trieste – Koper – Rijeka – Bar – Taranto – Malta – Limassol – Alexandria – Beirut – Antalya.
Emmanuel Papagiannakis, AGCT Chief Executive Officer, said: “We welcome the opportunities brought about by the enhanced coverage and faster transit times.”
In December 2024, AGCT installed white noise reversing alarms on two of its rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGs).
