Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), a company that is Container shipping industry leader for fleet capacity and is the only one among the top carriers of this market, which this year operates without making use of vessel sharing with other carriers, has announced changes to two of the 11 transatlantic services that are part of its network standalone. These are the MEDUSEC lines, which connects Italy with the East Coast of the United States, and EMUSA, which connects Israel, Turkey, Greece, France and Spain with the East Coast of the USA.

From the MEDUSEC service, which calls at the ports of Genoa in Italy, Gioia Tauro, Livorno and Naples, port calls will be removed of Barcelona and Sines, with both airports to be included in the EMUSA rotation

MSC highlighted that, thanks to the reorganization, the MEDUSEC service will present a transit time record for this market with only nine days of navigation between the port of Genoa and that of New York.
