Adriatic Gate Container Terminal (AGCT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) business unit at the Port of Rijeka in Croatia, has been added to the port rotation of the recently launched Bora Med service (BMS) by CMA CGM Short Sea Lines.
The new service, which commenced on 23 December in Antalya, establishes a link between Türkiye, the Adriatic region and the Eastern Mediterranean. Bora Med replaces the intra-Mediterranean SSLMED Türkiye Med Express 3 (TMX3) service, providing the Adriatic market with an upgraded service that introduces larger ships up to 2,500 TEUs and an expanded port rotation.
The weekly service significantly improves connectivity and transit times for both regional and international shipments, according to an ICTSI statement.
“AGCT’s inclusion in this service underscores our role in the Adriatic region and our commitment to provide flexible solutions for our clients. We welcome the opportunities brought about by the enhanced coverage and faster transit times,” stated Emmanuel Papagiannakis, AGCT CEO.
The port rotation for the Bora Med service is as follows: Antalya (Turkey) – Izmir (Turkey) – Aliaga (Turkey) – Ambarli (Turkey) – Gebze (Turkey) – Gemlik (Turkey) – Malta – Ancona (Italy) – Ravenna (Italy) – Venice (Italy) – Trieste (Italy) – Koper (Slovenia) – Rijeka (Croatia) – Bar (Italy) – Taranto (Italy) – Malta – Limassol (Cyprus) – Alexandria (Egypt) – Beirut (Egypt) – Antalya
