MSC adds Sète container service
MSC announced a new direct container service at the Fruit Logistica trade fair in Berlin recently, offering a weekly call at the port of Sète (France).
The decision follows years of market observation and discussions with key stakeholders. The presence of Primever, which specialises in perishable logistics and investments from companies like Dole, has strengthened the appeal of Sète, which offers multimodal connections.
The service will integrate Sète into MSC’s global network via Valencia and Las Palmas. The company expects shippers in Toulouse and Montpellier to benefit.
MSC is planning to highlight the logistics opportunities in an information road show. “The conditions for the long-term development of this container service are in place, based on the offer and the service,” as the port said in a media release. (js)
