MSC has officially entered the Türkiye –Trieste maritime link market, directly competing with Grimaldi and DFDS.
- Route: every Saturday: Gebze, Türkiye → Trieste, Italy
- Transit Time: 4 days to Trieste; 9 days for the return journey to Türkiye
- Target Cargo: Industrial goods, commercial freight, and automotive cargo
- 45ft HCPW containers
In a recent statement, the Geneva-based global carrier announced the introduction of 45ft HCPW (high-cube palletwide) containers on its short sea route connecting the Gebze region in Türkiye to Trieste in Northern Italy.
“This door-to-door transportation solution offers customers a very competitively priced option for larger shipments. This strategically designed service addresses the growing demand for reliable and efficient freight solutions while facilitating the shift from traditional trucks and RoRo vessels to larger-capacity containerised transport,” MSC stated.
Departing weekly from Gebze every Saturday, the service ensures a transit time of just four days to Trieste. Customers benefit from enhanced capacity, competitive pricing, and the convenience of working with a global logistics operator. This solution is further supported by MSC’s own inland transportation provider, MEDLOG, in both Türkiye and Italy.
