The new setup has been named as – Med Express (EMX). The EMX will be a weekly service which will utilise five ships of 4,250 teu-class.

COSCO will provide three ships into the service while Evergreen and YML will provide one each. The first sailing of EMX is scheduled to depart from Rotterdam on November 27 with as follows:

Rotterdam – Felixstowe– Hamburg – Antwerp – Casablanca – Piraeus – Alexandria – Haifa– Mersin – Piraeus – Casablanca – Rotterdam.

The service will enable Evergreen to provide a direct connection from North Europe to the Mediterranean, particularly to/from Morocco, Turkey, Israel and Egypt and is open to all types of cargo, including reefers and special containers.

“The service is being introduced in response to increased customer demand for a reliable service and demonstrates Evergreen’s strong commitment to enhance efficiency on Europe-Med routes,” Evergreen said.
