Maersk Line said Monday it plans to launch a new service this month between the eastern Mediterranean and Central Europe via the Adriatic Sea that it calls the Adriatic Levant Express or “ALEX.”
The new loop will deploy two vessels on the following port rotation: Alexandria (Egypt), Ashdod (Israel), Koper (Slovenia), Ravenna (Italy), Piraeus (Greece), Limassol (Cyprus), and Alexandria (Egypt).
The service will start with a sailing from Ashdod on Nov. 18.
