MSC Introduces New Direct Service from Far East to the Black Sea and East Mediterranean ports. 29/08/2003

Geneva, Friday 29th August 2003

MEDITERRANEAN SHIPPING COMPANY S.A of Geneva, Switzerland is pleased to announce the introduction of their new Tiger Service from the Far East direct to Ports in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean.

Commencing from the sailing of the MSC Denisse from Shanghai on the 7th of October 2003 MSC will provide a direct express weekly service deploying eight vessels on the following port rotation:-

Shanghai-Ningbo-Chiwan-HongKong-Singapore-Istanbul-Illychevsk-Constantza-Izmir Jeddah and Singapore     

The new Tiger Service will provide better transit times to Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Ports, with improved schedule integrity and complement MSC’s existing Silk and Dragon Services from the Far East to North Europe and the Mediterranean. 

Commenting on this new service development Caroline Becquart, Trade Manager responsible for the Far East, emphasized that “ This is a logical service improvement to our service network from the Far East to the important markets of the Black Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean, where we are already participating currently through transhipment services.”


Further information about this revised service can be obtained from your local MSC Agency Office.
