Seasonal REX service is back
The Turkish shipping company Arkas and its partner Sealand Europe & Med, a Maersk affiliate, have decided to resume their seasonal reefer service. REX, the "Russia Express Service", will commence with the departure of the "Bomar Resolve" from Mersin on 31 October 2020. This joint reefer service focuses on perishable cargo.
Transit time is four days port-to-port from Mersin to Novorossiysk for mainly Turkish perishable products. The weekly rotation will be: Mersin – Novorossiysk – Mersin.
The two carriers’ VSA will be maintained with Arkas Line operating one out of two vessels with average 600 plug capacity. Cosco Line will also participate under a slot agreement. (cd)
