    Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has announced the launch of its new Europe–Red Sea–Middle East Express service, aimed at strengthening connectivity and meeting rising trade demand across key regions.

    The service will directly link major European ports with King Abdullah Port, Jeddah and Aqaba, while also offering onward connectivity to Gulf destinations through multimodal transport solutions.

    Designed to operate efficiently in a complex shipping environment, the new route is expected to provide improved transit times and wider coverage across Europe via MSC’s network. It will cater to a broad range of cargo, offering enhanced flexibility for shippers.

    The inaugural sailing is scheduled to depart from Antwerp on 10 May.
