Evergreen improves connectivity in the Eastern Med

Evergreen Line has launched a new 10-day service linking Greece, Turkey and Malta at the end of January.

The new GTM service provides regional shippers with additional connectivity between the countries and improves feeder links to/from Evergreen Line’s global service network via its hub in Piraeus.

GTM will be operated by the 600 TEU vessel Kirsten and the first sailing was from Piraeus on 28 January.

With a port rotation of Piraeus-Thessaloniki-Gebze-Marsaxlokk-Piraeus, the GTM service will, in particular enhance Evergreen Line’s global network connection to Thessaloniki and, with a direct call at Gebze (50 kms east of Istanbul) offer a convenient link for the neighbouring Izmit industrial area.
