Ocean Network Express (ONE) has announced the launch of its new Iberia–Baltic Express (IBEX) service, aimed at strengthening connectivity between Southern and Northern Europe.
The service will link key ports in the Iberian Peninsula with major Baltic hubs, offering improved transit times and enhanced schedule reliability for regional cargo flows. By providing a direct connection, ONE seeks to reduce reliance on transshipment and streamline logistics for customers moving goods across Europe.
According to the company, the IBEX service is designed to cater to growing trade demand between markets such as Spain, Portugal, and Baltic region countries including Poland and Lithuania.
Industry observers note that the new route comes amid shifting intra-European trade patterns and increasing demand for efficient short-sea and feeder services. The offering is expected to benefit sectors such as automotive, consumer goods, and industrial cargo by ensuring faster and more predictable deliveries.
The launch also reflects ONE’s broader strategy to optimize its service network and enhance regional coverage, particularly in high-growth corridors. Improved connectivity between Iberia and the Baltic is likely to support trade diversification and reduce transit bottlenecks.
With the introduction of the IBEX service, Ocean Network Express continues to expand its footprint in the European market, positioning itself to better serve evolving customer requirements in a competitive shipping landscape.
