New TEX service to start next month
Hamburg-based carrier Hapag-Lloyd will launch the new regular service Turkey East Coast Express (TEX) in mid May 2022.
The weekly service will call the three Turkish ports of Izmit, Aliaga and Mersin and connect them eastbound with the US East Coast ports of New York, Norfolk and Savannah. A stopover in the port of Tangier is also planned.
"By calling at only a few strategic ports, we speed up the transport and can offer correspondingly short transit times," explains Lando Schlese, director trade management Atlantic at Hapag-Lloyd. Six vessels will be deployed for TEX, with the following port rotation: Mersin - Izmit - Aliaga - Tangier - New York - Norfolk - Savannah - Tangier - Mersin. (sh)
